Tighten using a suitable wrench, 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 18mm
• Ensure the threaded connection matches the 3/4 inch specification
• Check compatibility with your existing pipe material
• Confirm that the system pressure and temperature are within the operating limits of brass fittings

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or leaks after the initial installation. It is recommended to perform a pressure test on the system before finalizing the enclosure of the pipes to ensure all connections are secure.
