Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC-R technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off gas or water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling or installing any flare fitting. Use an appropriate flare nut wrench to avoid rounding the fitting; apply thread sealant approved for the service type to the NPT threads only, keeping sealant away from the flare seat. Inspect the flare cone and seat for damage before making up the connection.
