Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the correct size of fitting? The thread size must exactly match the thread on the pipe or fitting it connects to - the abbreviations FF (internal-internal thread) and MF (external-internal) in the name indicate the thread type on each side.
• Is sealing material needed for installation? Yes, PTFE tape or hemp fibre with sealing paste is normally used on threaded joints to ensure a perfectly tight connection.
• Does the installation have to be done by a professional? A simple threaded connection can be made by a DIY user with basic skills; for work on an already functioning system (especially gas), we recommend calling in a plumber, who will also check the tightness of the joint.
