Usage & Installation Notes

  • Confirm that the hole or gland entry is properly threaded M40 × 1.5.

  • Clean threads and sealing surfaces before installing.

  • Tighten until the O-ring or gasket just seals; do not over-torque or risk thread damage or seal deformation.

  • Choose material appropriate to environment: brass for rugged / high-temperature / corrosion resistance, or plastic / PA versions for lighter-duty or explosive-atmosphere versions (EX rating).

  • Inspect the sealing element periodically, especially in harsh environments.
