Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements. Before installation, shut off and depressurize the line being serviced. Use a calibrated flaring tool to ensure a proper flare seat; a misformed flare is a common source of leaks at flare connections. Do not overtighten flare nuts — hand-snug plus a controlled wrench turn is the standard practice; consult applicable code or fitting manufacturer guidance for final torque.
