How to use

Ensure both mating threads are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male thread if required by the installation standards. Screw the extension pipe into the female fitting by hand until it is seated, then tighten with a suitable wrench to the recommended torque for 1/2" brass fittings to avoid overstressing the threads. After installation, check for leaks under normal operating pressure and retighten if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use PTFE tape or approved thread sealant on potable water installations and avoid excessive torque to prevent thread damage. For installations exposed to aggressive chemicals or extreme temperatures, verify material compatibility before use. Periodically inspect threaded connections for signs of leakage or corrosion.
