Installation tips for best results
- Prepare threads with quality pipe thread sealant or PTFE/Teflon tape suitable for PVC and threaded connections.
- Align fittings to avoid cross-threading; hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench—careful not to overtighten and risk cracking the PVC.
- Pair with compatible Schedule 80 PVC components rated for the same pressure and temperature range to ensure a cohesive, durable system.
- Inspect joints after assembly for leaks and looseness, testing with water pressure before final commissioning.
