Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the gas supply is safely isolated according to standard safety protocols. Remove the old washer, clean the internal seat of the union, and position the new washer centrally before tightening the union nut. This washer is compatible with standard MU Gas Meter Unions. Inspect periodically during annual safety checks for any signs of cracking or hardening. Do not reuse washers that have been previously compressed, as they may not maintain a proper seal upon re-installation.
