Cut, insert and tighten
Installation is fast and easy even in the confined spaces.
1
The fitting is pre-assembled and ready to use. Cut pipe square and to length using the flange on the central body as a guide. Ensure the end of connecting pipe is undamaged and clean.
2
To ensure adequate insertion depth, witness mark the pipe to the back of the flange.
3
Insert the pipe to the correct depth. Always ensure the nut is backed off and 3 threads are showing. Pipes at the top end of the fitting tolerance may require 5 threads showing.
4
Tighten nut firmly with a wrench. Nut will not butt against the body flange when the pipe size is at the top end of the fitting tolerance.
