• Connection type: 1/2 inch female thread
• Application: Pipe end sealing
• Durability: Corrosion-resistant

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 10712 end cup, ensure the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant, to the male threads of the pipe. Screw the end cup onto the pipe by hand until it is firm, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it further to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe system utilizes a 1/2 inch male thread
• Ensure the system pressure is within the rated limits for brass fittings
• Check for compatibility with other materials in your piping system to prevent galvanic corrosion

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or leaks after initial installation and during routine maintenance checks to ensure the continued integrity of the plumbing system.
