Installation tips
Ensure threads match (MPT to FPT) and use an appropriate thread sealant or Teflon tape rated for hydraulic systems. Hand-tighten securely, then apply a wrench to snug the connection without over-torquing. Verify the connection for leaks after the system is under pressure and inspect for proper alignment to prevent undue stress on hoses.
