Practical tips for a secure fit
- Prepare threads by cleaning and deburring to ensure a smooth seal and reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads, wrapping clockwise 2–3 layers for a dependable seal.
- When tightening, use two wrenches to steady one end while snugging the other to avoid bending or damaging the nipples.
- After installation, check for leaks under gradual pressure and re-torque if necessary.
