Installation Practices
Male, Female, Union and Tee Fitting Assembly
Step 5 Install HOME-FLEX® tting in destination
(manifold, pipe system, xed appliance, etc.)
Make sure that the gasket inside the
HOME-FLEX® tting is secure on the socket.
Apply a pipe sealant to the tapered (NPT)
thread of the tting and install it in the gas
system.
Step 6 Attach ange nut to the installed HOME-FLEX®
tting
Place the HOME-FLEX® ange nut onto the
installed tting. Hand tighten the tting
assembly from the nut-end being sure
that only the nut turns (the tting and
tubing should not turn). Then tighten to the
recommended torque value in Table 4.3 (p.
20) using a second wrench to hold the
tting in place (generally, tighten with force
until the nut will no longer turn).
DO NOT use sealant on the parallel thread
(gasket side) of the socket.
