Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with hand threading tools and metalworking safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading and apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Begin threading with steady, even pressure and back off periodically to clear chips. Inspect threads after cutting to verify proper fit and pitch before assembly.
