Installation Notes

Push fit fittings of this type are installed by licensed plumbers working under applicable local plumbing codes referencing the IPC or UPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned before insertion to achieve a proper seal. For PEX and CPVC, confirm the integral tube liner is seated correctly inside the pipe end prior to pushing the fitting into position.
