Installation & Technical Info

Ensure pipe is cut square and chamfered. Insert pipe into the fitting fully, tighten compression nut by hand, then use a wrench to tighten to manufacturer recommendations (usually 1–2 turns). Do not overtighten as this may damage seals.

Pressure-test the system after assembly. Install in accordance with water authority guidelines and ensure fittings are suitably protected if laid underground.
