Connection Tightness:

After thread sealant is applied, tighten all connections by hand (3.5-6 turns, depending on pipe size), then use the following Turn Past Finger Tightness guide to complete the tightening process:

 

NPT Fitting Size	TPFT (Turns Past Finger Tightness)
1/8”	1.5-2.5
1/4”	1.5-2.5
3/8”	1.5-2.5
1/2"	1.5-2.5
3/4"	1.5-2.5
1”	1-2.5
1 1/4"	1-2.5
1 1/2"	1-2.5
2”	1-2.5

Table 2- TPFT Guide

NOTE: Never loosen a fitting for correct alignment.  Doing so will prevent the thread from maintaining a proper seal.

 

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the connection.  Overtightening can damage threads, pipes, fittings, and the eFlo device.
