How to use

To install the TDM Brass 701/S-200C elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant, to the male threads of the pipes you are connecting. Screw the elbow onto the first pipe by hand until firm, then attach the second pipe. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the connections carefully, ensuring you do not overtighten, which could damage the threads or the fitting. Once installed, pressurize the system slowly to check for any signs of leakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing pipe system uses 1/2-inch male threads
• Ensure the 90-degree angle fits your specific spatial requirements
• Check that the material is compatible with the fluid being transported

Usage recommendations: Always use high-quality thread sealing tape to ensure a watertight seal. Avoid using abrasive tools directly on the chrome surface to prevent scratching and maintain the aesthetic finish of the fitting.
