How to use

To install the BENKISER pipe joint, ensure that the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris. Slide the necessary compression nuts and ferrules onto the pipe before inserting the pipe into the joint. Tighten the connection using appropriate plumbing tools, ensuring that the fitting is secure without over-tightening, which could damage the threads or the seal. Once installed, turn on the water supply gradually to check for any signs of leakage at the connection point.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility with the 10 mm side
• Check the thread type of your 1/2 inch connection to ensure it matches standard plumbing threads
• Ensure you have the correct plumbing tools for tightening compression fittings

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection point for any signs of moisture or mineral buildup to ensure the long-term integrity of the plumbing system. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the chrome surface to maintain its finish.
