Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per local code requirements. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque on threaded connections.
