TRUE FIT THREADED FITTINGS QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION STEPS (See full installation in image gallery or attached image)
- 1.) (a) Use a thread paste sealant or (b) a teflon tape sealant. The right sealant for threaded joints is non-hardening, compatible with plastic and doesn’t add slipperiness to encourage over-torquing.
2.) Screw pipe into fitting. Do not over tighten. The recommended way to assemble a Threaded Pipe Fitting is hand tight. Tighten until firm with spanner or pipe grip. One to two turns should be all that is required.
- All pipe work must be adequately supported.
- Use a thread sealant on all threaded connections. It is recommended to use Loctite 5331.
- If you are using chemicals or have any special requirements that you wish to use your Threaded Pipe Fitting in, see the Threaded Chemical Resistance chart in the image gallery.
- Please see below for Minimum Recommended Hole Sizes chart.
- Fittings should be installed as per applicable standards and approvals for pipe and fittings. Failure to complete installation in accordance with applicable standards and approvals may void warranties given by Hansen Products (NZ) Limited in respect to the fitting. It is recommended to follow pipe manufacturers guidelines.
