Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right fitting size? The thread size must exactly match the thread on the pipe or fitting it connects to - the abbreviations FF (female-female thread) and MF (male-female) in the name indicate the thread type on each side.
• Is sealing material needed during installation? Yes, PTFE tape or hemp fiber with sealing paste is typically used on threaded joints to ensure a perfectly tight seal.
• Must installation be carried out by a professional? A simple threaded connection can be handled by a competent DIYer, but for work on an already functioning system (especially gas), we recommend calling in a plumber/heating technician who can also verify the joint's tightness.
