Installation tips
- Apply PTFE thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the male threads before tightening to ensure a leak-free seal.
- Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug securely. Avoid overtightening which can damage threads.
- Verify alignment after installation and check for leaks with water pressure tests before putting the line into service.
