2.9.3 Assembly Instructions for British
Standard Pipe Thread Tapered
Connections
1. Inspect components to ensure male and female port
threads are free of rust, splits, dirt, foreign matter, or
burrs.
2. Apply a suitable thread sealant, such as Loctite 567, to
the male pipe threads if not already applied. Ensure the
first 1 to 2 threads are uncovered to prevent system
contamination.
3. Assemble connection hand tight.
4. Mark fittings, male and female.
5. Rotate male fitting the number of turns as per below
mention table.
Note: TFFT values provided in below table are applicable for
the following material configurations:
a. Steel fittings with steel mating components
b. Steel fittings with aluminum or brass mating
components
c. Aluminum or brass fittings with steel mating
components
d. Aluminum or brass fittings with aluminum or brass
mating components.
a. BSPT Pipe Thread
NOTICE
Over tightening may cause deformation of the pipe
fitting and damage to the joining fitting, flange or
component may occur.
NOTICE
Never back off (loosen) pipe threaded connectors to
achieve alignment. Meet the minimum required turns
and use the last turn for alignment.
