Installation Guidance

Use approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to achieve a watertight seal. Thread engagement should not exceed 3-1/2 full turns beyond hand-tight. Apply torque evenly using appropriate pipe wrenches, avoiding over-tightening which may crack mating fittings. Always verify pressure compatibility with surrounding system components and piping materials.

Common Applications

This fitting is regularly used in:

• Water supply connections in commercial and residential systems
• Hydronic heating loops and radiant distribution manifolds
• Air compressor and pneumatic distribution lines
• Fuel oil supply systems and low-pressure gas applications
