How to use

To install the BENKISER pipe joint, ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris. Apply appropriate sealing materials, such as PTFE tape or thread sealant, to the threaded connection if required by your specific installation method. Align the joint carefully with the pipes and tighten the connections using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the chrome finish or the internal threads. Once installed, pressurize the system slowly and inspect the joint for any signs of leakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact diameter of your existing pipes
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system stays within the 0-90°C range
• Check if additional sealing tape or compounds are needed for your specific setup

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or mineral buildup, especially in high-humidity environments, to ensure the longevity of the chrome finish and the integrity of the seal.
