5. Use a pipe chamfering tool to slightly bevel the pipe edge for easier insertion on the push-fit end

Remember, proper installation is key to preventing leaks and ensuring the longevity of your hot tub plumbing system.

Maintenance

While PVC fittings are known for their low maintenance requirements, periodic checks are recommended:

1. Regularly inspect for any signs of leakage or wear
2. Check the tightness of the threaded connection periodically, especially after any system maintenance
3. Ensure the push-fit connection remains secure and leak-free

With proper care, this 1″ Grey PVC Nipple (P/T) will provide reliable service and versatile connectivity for years to come.
