Safety notes
- Never connect, disconnect or remake a fitting with pressure in the system.

- 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.
