• Never connect, disconnect or remake a fitting with pressure in the system.
• Make sure all fittings are properly installed.
• It is not recommended to go beyond the pressure rating of the tubing. Elongation could occur in the tubing, shrinking the wall thickness and cause potential harm.
• For proper sealing it is recommended that the tubing and fittings be of like material.
• Always use proper thread lubricant and sealants on tapered pipe threads.
• Never bleed a system by loosening a fitting.
