How to use

To install the SCHELL double expansion joint, ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and properly prepared for connection. Align the fitting with the pipe ends, ensuring that the seals are correctly positioned to prevent leaks. Tighten the connections using appropriate plumbing tools, applying sufficient torque to secure the joint without over-tightening, which could damage the threads or the fitting itself. Once installed, perform a pressure test to verify the integrity of the connection before finalizing the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact diameter of your existing piping to ensure compatibility with the 10 mm specification.
• Check the thread type of your current system to match the 3/8 inch connection.
• Ensure you have the necessary plumbing tools for a secure installation.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or degradation as part of your routine plumbing maintenance schedule to ensure continued system safety and performance.
