1. Preparation
Check the materials: Make sure the purchased Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug is compatible with your pipe system and check that it is intact and has no defects or damage.
Clean the pipe: Before installation, be sure to clean the pipe end face to ensure that there is no impurities, oil or scale. This helps to ensure the tightness and sealing of the Push Fit connection.
Measure and mark: Determine the position of the Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug according to the length of the pipe and the parts to be connected, and mark it.

2. Installation steps
Cut the pipe: Use a suitable pipe cutting tool to cut the pipe according to the marked position. Make sure the cut surface is flat and free of burrs.
Insert the Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug: Align the insertion end of the Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug with the pipe end face and push it in firmly. During this process, you may hear a "click" sound, indicating that it has been properly installed in place.
Check the connection: After insertion, gently rotate the Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug to ensure that it is firmly fixed on the pipe. Then, apply a certain amount of pressure to the pipe connection and check for leaks.

3 Precautions
Avoid excessive force: During installation, do not push the Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug with excessive force to avoid damaging its internal structure or causing deformation of the pipe.
Ensure that the pipe is dry: Before installation, make sure that the inside of the pipe is dry and free of moisture or residue. This helps prevent corrosion and leaks.
Follow the product instructions: Different Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plugs may have different installation requirements and instructions for use. Therefore, before installation, be sure to read the product manual carefully and follow the instructions.

4. Inspection and testing
Visual inspection: After installation, perform a visual inspection of the pipe connection to ensure that the Push Fit Lead Free Brass Plug is properly installed and fixed on the pipe.
Pressure test: Where possible, pressure test the pipe system to check for leaks at the connection. This can be achieved by adding water to the pipe system and gradually increasing the pressure.
