Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these fittings, use a 13mm wrench on the hex collar to tighten the male thread into your tool or hose coupling. It is highly recommended to apply a small amount of PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant to the BSP threads to prevent air leaks. As these are zinc-plated, they are resistant to rust, but you should still wipe them down occasionally to remove accumulated dirt or moisture. Always ensure the system is depressurized before removing or installing new fittings to prevent accidental hose whip. They are specifically designed for compatibility with Rectus 19 systems; check your existing quick-release sockets to ensure a proper mating profile.
