Installation Considerations

This compression-style connector is intended for use with copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing and requires no soldering or special tools. Hand-tighten, then secure with a wrench to ensure proper compression at both ends. Always verify that the water supply is shut off and that compression surfaces are clean and undamaged before installation. Follow manufacturer torque guidance to avoid overtightening.
