Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing flare fittings. Use an appropriately sized flare wrench to avoid deforming the fitting seat. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the flare seat and cause leaks.
