- Repair or retrofit existing metal pipe networks without increasing the number of fittings required.
Practical installation tips
- Clean and inspect threads on both pipes before connection.
- Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for metal threads to ensure a tight, leak-free seal.
- Tighten connector hand-tight, then snug with a wrench—avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage.
