How to use

Shut off system water and depressurize the relevant section before installation. Screw the T-union onto compatible 1/2” threaded pipes or fittings and into the heating element connection point, ensuring a proper seal with appropriate sealing material (e.g., thread seal tape or approved jointing compound) where required. Tighten to a suitable torque to avoid damage to threads or fittings, then restore system pressure and check for leaks at all joints.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 1/2” threaded fittings and standard plumbing sealing materials. Inspect threads and chrome plating for damage before installation and avoid excessive tightening. After installation, perform a pressure and leak test following local plumbing and heating regulations.
