Installation tips
- Clean the mating threads on both fittings to remove debris and ensure a proper seal.
- Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for metal threads and the media being conveyed.
- Thread by hand first to align, then tighten with a wrench until snug. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
