Installation Tips:

  • Preparation: Clean the threads of both the fitting and the pipe to ensure a clean and tight connection. Remove any dirt, grease, or debris that could interfere with the seal.

  • Teflon Tape or Pipe Dope: Apply a thin layer of Teflon tape or pipe dope to the external threads of the fitting to ensure a tight, leak-proof seal.

  • Hand-Tightening: Start by hand-tightening the fitting to ensure proper alignment and avoid cross-threading.

  • Wrench-Tightening: Use a wrench to tighten the fitting further, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads or the fitting.

  • Inspection: After installation, inspect the connection to ensure there are no leaks or misalignments.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the connection for signs of wear, damage, or leaks.

  • Cleaning: Clean the threads and the fitting regularly to prevent the buildup of debris and ensure optimal performance.

  • Replacement: Replace the fitting if it shows signs of wear, damage, or if it no longer provides a tight seal.

Additional Considerations:

  • Temperature Range: Ensure that the operating temperature of the system is within the range specified for the UPVC material to avoid degradation or failure.

  • Pressure Rating: Verify that the fitting meets the pressure requirements of your system to ensure safe and reliable operation.

  • Compatibility: Check the compatibility of the UPVC material with the specific chemicals being used in your application to ensure long-term performance.

Example Usage:

  • Chemical Plant: In a chemical plant, the UPVC External Threaded Direct Connection can be used to connect pipes carrying sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or other corrosive chemicals, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection.
