Clean the male and female threads, apply sealant evenly, and thread the bushing into the larger MPT side first.

Avoid over-tightening to protect the integrity of the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong end diameter\u003e 1-1\/4 in.
