MALLEABLE IRON FITTINGS *.AWIL <br /> General Assembly of Threaded Fittings <br /> 1) Inspect both male and female components prior to assembly. <br /> • Threads should be free from mechanical damage,dirt,chips and excess cutting oil. <br /> • Clean or replace components as necessary. <br /> 2) Application of thread sealant <br /> • Use a thread sealant that is fast drying,sets-up to a semi hard condition and is vibration resistant. Alternately,an anaerobic <br /> sealant may be utilized. <br /> • Thoroughly mix the thread sealant prior to application. <br /> • Apply a thick even coat to the male threads only.Best application is achieved with a brush stiff enough to force sealant down <br /> to the root of the threads. <br /> 3) Joint Makeup <br /> • For sizes up to and including 2"pipe,wrench tight makeup is considered three full turns past handtight.Handtight engagement <br /> for'/i'through 2"thread varies from 41/2 turns to 5 turns. <br /> • For 2'/2"through 4"sizes,wrench tight makeup is considered two full turns past handtight. Handtight engagement for 2'/2' <br /> through 4"thread varies from 5'/2 turns to 6'/4turns. <br /> PF-11.13 <br />
