How to Use

1. Step 1: Prepare the Threads: Clean the male threads of both the double nipple and the connecting pipes with a wire brush to remove any debris or corrosion. – See Figure 1

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of thread sealant should I use with this fitting?

While the fitting is made of durable stainless steel, it is essential to check local regulations for gas applications. Use appropriate gas-rated fittings for gas lines to ensure safety.

How do I prevent the fitting from leaking?

Ensure that the threads are clean and properly sealed with Teflon tape or sealant paste. Tighten the fitting securely with a wrench, but avoid overtightening. Testing the connection after installation is essential to check for leaks.

What is the lifespan of this stainless steel fitting?

When properly installed and maintained, this stainless steel fitting can last for decades. The corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel ensure long-term reliability.

Can I use this fitting with different thread types?

This fitting is designed with Whitworth pipe threads conforming to ISO 7-1/EN 10226-1 and ISO 228-1 standards. Ensure compatibility with your other fittings to avoid cross-threading and leaks.
