Use these fittings in a low-pressure pipe line.

In addition to being lightweight, these aluminum fittings offer good corrosion resistance. Use them in low-pressure flow applications. To prevent cracking, do not tighten more than a _1/4-turn past hand tight.

Create a leak-free, durable connection in plastic tanks, walls, or panels without gaskets or sealants. As you spin these fittings with a handheld electric router, they melt into the surface of your tank for a seal without any joints. To hold these fittings in your router, you’ll need the installation tool (sold separately). For proper installation, you’ll want to use a hole saw to drill a hole that matches the For Hole Diameter listed and check that your router meets the speed and power requirements shown in the table.

To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. Threaded connections can be taken apart as needed for maintenance and repair. For metal threads, use PTFE tape. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
