Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified maintenance technician familiar with NPT threaded connections. Shut off the fluid supply and relieve system pressure fully before removing or installing any coupling. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC before threading the coupling into place. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
