Installation and Maintenance

Installation

Inspect the hexagon Nipple Fig280 A197 NPTbefore installation to ensure no sand holes, cracks, deformation and intact threads
Clean iron chips, dust and debris at pipe ends to keep connecting surfaces clean
Wind PTFE tape clockwise or apply pipe thread sealant on male threads
Tighten evenly by holding the hexagonal part with a wrench to avoid cracking due to excessive force
Pressure test after installation; put into use only after confirming no leakage and looseness

Maintenance

Regularly check joints for leakage, thread looseness and surface corrosion
Paint anti-rust paint regularly for outdoor or humid environments to extend service life
Replace immediately in case of cracks, deformation, leakage or serious corrosion
