You will need a wrench suitable for the fitting sizes and potentially thread sealant such as PTFE tape.

Can I use this union with any fluid?

Ensure the union material is compatible with the fluid you intend to use. Check the material specifications for chemical resistance.

How do I prevent leaks?

Use thread sealant (such as PTFE tape) and ensure all fittings are properly tightened. Inspect the connections after installation and pressurization.

What should I do if the threads are damaged?

If the threads are damaged, the union may not seal correctly. Replace the union.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts may be available through Draper retailers or suppliers.
