Use
a thread sealant on all threaded connections. We recommend
Loctite 5331.
If
you are using chemicals or have any special requirements
that you wish to use your Threaded Pipe Fitting in, go
to the Threaded Chemical resistance page or don't hesitate to contact
us.
a) Use a thread paste sealant or (b) a teflon tape sealant.
The right sealant for threaded joints is non-hardening,
compatible with plastic and doesn't add slipperiness to
encourage over-torquing.
Screw
pipe into fitting.
Do not over tighten. The recommended way to assemble a Threaded
Pipe Fitting is finger tight. Tighten until firm with spanner
or pipe grip. One to two turns should be all that is required.
