How to use

To install the TDM Brass 1460, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Insert the 16mm pipe into the designated port and tighten the compression nut securely. For the 1/2 inch male threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threads before screwing the fitting into the corresponding female component. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the connection, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the fitting body.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe diameter is exactly 16mm
• Ensure the 1/2 inch thread matches your existing system components
• Check for compatibility with your specific fluid type and temperature range
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools for installation

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or leaks after the initial installation and during routine system maintenance to ensure continued performance.
