Practical installation tips
- Prepare threads with pipe thread seal tape (PTFE) or an approved pipe dope to ensure a tight, leak-free fit.
- Align fittings carefully to avoid cross-threading—start by hand, then snug with a wrench, following manufacturer torque guidelines.
- Avoid over-tightening, which can damage threads or the galvanized coating; after tightening, inspect for any signs of leakage.
- Verify compatibility with your system’s pressure and temperature ratings before installation.
