How to use

To install the nut, ensure that the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Slide the nut onto the pipe, followed by the gasket. Align the pipe with the corresponding valve or fixture connection and tighten the nut by hand until firm. Use a suitable wrench to apply the final tightening, taking care not to overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the gasket seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing valve or fixture
• Confirm the outer diameter of the pipe being connected
• Check if the existing installation space allows for wrench access

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or leaks after the initial installation. If the system is disassembled for maintenance, it is recommended to replace the gasket to ensure a continued leak-proof seal.
