This fitting is designed for 1.1/4 inch pipes with standard matching threads. It is not suitable for push-fit or non-threaded pipe ends.
A standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench is usually sufficient to tighten the fitting securely.
Yes, provided the material of the pipe and the sealant used are rated for the temperatures of your hot water system.
Using high-quality PTFE tape or an approved pipe sealant is highly recommended to ensure a watertight connection.
Yes, because it uses a screwed connection, it can be unscrewed and reused in other projects, provided the threads remain in good condition.
Ensure that sufficient thread sealant or PTFE tape was applied; if leaking persists, check that threads are not cross-threaded.
Clean the male threads of the pipe to remove dirt or paint and ensure the pipe is aligned straight before turning.
Verify the pipe diameter is exactly 1.1/4 inch and that both the pipe and the socket threads are standard compatible types.
To install, ensure your pipe ends are properly threaded to match the 1.1/4-inch specification. It is recommended to use an appropriate PTFE tape or thread sealant on the male threads to reinforce the seal against leaks. Tighten the socket firmly using a pipe wrench, taking care not to over-tighten, which could stress the threads. For maintenance, periodically inspect the joint for signs of moisture or corrosion, especially in systems exposed to varying temperatures. Keep the threads clean and free of grit to ensure a smooth engagement during installation.
