Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing any existing nipple or fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service - gas, water, or air - before makeup. Do not use pipe wrenches on the nipple body beyond the hex or reinforced area to avoid deforming the wall on shorter pieces.
