Practical tips for best results:
- For the PTC end, ensure the 3/4" supply cut is square and the pipe end is clean before inserting fully until seated.
- For the 1/4" compression side, start with a clean, deburred tube and tighten the compression nut securely to prevent leaks.
- Keep the unit within its rated 400 psi and 200°F limits; use where these conditions meet your project requirements.
- Periodic checks during first use help confirm a secure seal and identify any creeping leaks early.
