Style and Description

Threaded adaptors manufactured to AS IS0 7.1/2 (previously AS 1722.1) are commonly known as Engineering or Sealing Threads. Made with tapered male and parallel female ends, this range can be used to adapt from male to female thread or to re-size a threaded end as required.

All TubeFit brand Threaded Adaptors may be used with other BSP threaded products manufactured from brass alloys.

Assembly & Installation

1. Tighten fitting to ‘spanner firm’ position. (Caution: do not over-tighten)

2. If used in a pneumatic application, apply a soapy solution to the joint to be certain a positive seal has been made. Visually inspect for leaks if used in an hydraulic application. Note: If mating threads manufactured by different companies, Loctite 567 Thread Sealant is recommended even if manufactured to AS IS0 7.1/2 (previously AS 1722.1 – Sealing Threads). It is not good practice to use thread tape with tapered threads.
