EASY FIT POLY FITTINGS QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION (See visual installation in image gallery)
- 1.) Cut the pipe with pipe cutters, a knife or saw. Ensure a square cut of pipe ends. Clean burrs off pipe. When making a repair in a burst pipe make sure the length of the cut away matches the length of the replacement fitting between the screwed on nuts.
2.) Ensure the nut is fully wound back onto the body of the fitting. Push the pipe onto the fitting and as far as possible into the nut.
3.) Wind the nut onto the pipe a few turns. Tighten with spanner or pipe grips.
- All pipe work must be adequately supported.
- Use either a thread sealing paste or tape on all threaded connections, it is recommended to use Loctite 5331.
- 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 manufacturer’s guidelines.
