Chemical Resistance
Plasson Mechanical Compression Fittings are supplied as standards, with polyacetal split rings and NBR O-rings which are suitable for water. For aggressive chemical applications CPVC split rings and EPDM or FPM O-rings can be supplied to produce a better chemical resistance.
Installation Notes
Make sure not to over tighten nut when closing. Never use wrenches or spanners with handle lengths longer than 46 cm – excessive torque during tightening can spread nut cone and result in pull outs. If fittings are reused, ensure split ring is sharp and bites into pipe to avoid pull outs. Alternatively replace split ring.
Note
We strongly recommend the use of PTEE tape in threaded connections.
