Installation Guidelines

1. Pipe Preparation

   • Ensure the pipe is clean, round, and free of burrs. Cut to a square end for optimal sealing.

2. Fitting Assembly

   • Loosen the compression nut and slide it onto the pipe along with the olive (compression ring).

3. Connection

   • Insert the pipe into the stop end body, ensuring it seats fully.

   • Tighten the compression nut with a spanner until resistance is felt, then an additional quarter-turn to secure the joint.

4. Testing

   • Once installed, pressure test the system to confirm the joint is leak-free.

Note: Avoid overtightening to prevent distortion of the olive or the fitting.

Product Care and Maintenance

• Ensure joints are kept free from debris or excessive mechanical strain.

• Periodically check capped ends for signs of wear or leakage in exposed systems.

• Store fittings in a dry place to prevent surface oxidation prior to use.
