TRUE FIT TANK FITTINGS INSTALLATION (See visual guide in image gallery)
- All pipe work must be adequately supported.
- Use a thread sealant on all threaded connections. Loctite 5331 is recommended.
- If you are using chemicals or have any special requirements that you wish to use your Tank Fittings in, check the Tank Fitting Chemical Resistance attached in the image gallery.
- For Minimum Recommended Hole Sizes, kindly check the whole chart in the image gallery.
- 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 Hanzen Products Limited in respect to the fitting. It is recommended to follow pipe manufacturer’s guidelines.
- STEP 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.
STEP 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.
