Tips for installation and best practices
- Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads, then thread by hand to prevent cross-threading.
- A light tighten with a wrench is sufficient; avoid overtightening to protect the female threads and connection integrity.
- Inspect threads for any damage before installation to ensure a leak-free seal from the start.
