Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the 35mm pipe is cut perfectly square and is free from burrs or scratches, as surface irregularities can compromise the compression seal. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe before inserting the pipe fully into the fitting body. Tighten the nut by hand until finger-tight, then use a suitable large-capacity wrench to apply the final turns required to compress the olive securely. Avoid overtightening, which can distort the fitting. For maintenance, periodically inspect the joint for signs of moisture or corrosion; however, once correctly installed, these brass fittings are largely maintenance-free. Always ensure that the threaded end is compatible with the 1 1/4 inch female requirement of your specific system components.
