General Information and Specifications
d. Pipe Fittings to Pipe Ports
Improper assembly of this joint will result in a leaking joint
and possible damage to the port.
1. Inspect the port and fitting to insure that there are no
burrs, nicks, or foreign material. If any thread
damage is found the part must not be used. Clean
off any foreign material.
2. Apply sealant/lubricant to male pipe thread. If Teflon
tape is used it should be wrapped 1.5 to 2 turns in a
clockwise direction when viewed from the pipe
thread end. With any sealant the first 1 to 2 threads
should be left uncovered to avoid system
contamination.
3. Screw the connector into the port finger tight.
4. Wrench tighten the fitting to the appropriate Turns
From Finger Tight (TFFT) from following table. Make
sure that angle fittings are aligned with the mating
tube or hose within the listed number of turns. Never
back off (loosen) pipe thread connectors to achieve
alignment.
