1.Proper Thread Engagement: Ensure that the male and female threads of the conical threaded fittings are aligned correctly and engage fully. The threads should fit tightly without any gaps or misalignment.
2.Use Thread Sealant or Tape: Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threads before making the connection. This helps create a tight seal and prevents leaks. Teflon tape or pipe thread sealant are commonly used for this purpose.
3.Tighten the Fittings Properly: Use the recommended torque or tightening procedure to secure the connection. Over-tightening can damage the fittings or result in leaks, while under-tightening may lead to loose connections and subsequent leaks. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines or industry standards for the appropriate torque specifications.
4.Avoid Overloading: Do not subject the fittings to excessive stress or loads that can cause them to deform or create gaps between the threads. Ensure that the system's pressure or load is within the rated capacity of the fittings.
5.Inspect for Damage or Wear: Before making the connection, inspect the conical threaded fittings for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation. Replace any fittings that are visibly damaged or compromised to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
6.Conduct a Leak Test: After making the connection, perform a leak test to verify the integrity of the connection. This can be done by pressurizing the system and checking for any signs of leakage around the threaded connection. Soap water or a commercial leak detection solution can be used to identify any leaks.
7.Periodic Maintenance and Inspection: Regularly inspect the conical threaded fittings for signs of leakage or deterioration. Replace any fittings that show signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Additionally, consider periodic re-tightening or resealing of the fittings as part of maintenance practices.
