Installation and Maintenance

Installation Guide

  1. Clean female pipe threads and Union Fig 342 BSPT brass seat sealing surfaces, remove burrs, dust and impurities, ensuring no damage to sealing surfaces.
  2. Align one end of the Union Fig 342 BSPT body with pipe female threads, screw in by hand until brass seat contact.
  3. Align the other pipe with the other end of the Union Fig 342 BSPT, screw in by hand.
  4. Hold both ends of the Union Fig 342 BSPT with a wrench and tighten the nut symmetrically to ensure even brass seat contact, avoiding one-sided force causing sealing failure.
  5. After installation, conduct pipeline pressure test at 1.5 times working pressure according to BS EN standard to ensure no leakage.

Maintenance Tips

① Inspection Schedule: Visual inspection quarterly; monthly in corrosive environments, checking brass seat sealing surface, thread condition and surface coating.

② Cleaning Method: Wipe the surface and brass sealing area with clean soft cloth; do not use sharp tools or strong acid/alkali solvents to damage brass seat and threads.

③ Replacement Cycle: Replace after 20–25 years of normal use (5–10 years longer than ordinary iron seats), or immediately if thread slipping, brass seat deformation or sealing failure occurs.

④ Disassembly Tips: Loosen the nut symmetrically during disassembly to avoid thread damage caused by brass seat adhesion; check brass seat integrity during reinstallation and replace if necessary.
