Installation tips
- Prepare threads with an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape designed for metal pipes. Apply evenly and avoid excess to prevent contamination of the joint.
- Align ends carefully to avoid cross-threading. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug the connection—do not overtighten.
