⚠️ Before You Start
Always close the main water supply valve before any connection work. Connecting under live pressure is dangerous and can cause immediate flooding. After closing — open a low tap to release residual pressure.
Step by Step — How to Connect Pipe Fittings Correctly 👷
Shut off water supply — Close the main valve completely. Open a low tap to release residual pressure in the pipes.
Choose the right fitting — Sealing: plug. Flexible connection: brass extension. Shut-off point: PN16 ball valve.
Prepare the threads — Remove old Teflon residue. Wrap 3–5 turns of Teflon tape clockwise (looking at the male thread end).
Connect by hand first — Turn 2–3 rotations by hand before using a wrench. This ensures straight alignment.
Tighten with wrench — Add 3/4 turn after hand-tight. For plastic fittings — do not over-tighten.
Open water and check — Slowly open the main valve. Check all connections after 10 minutes under pressure.
💡 Pro Tip
Experienced plumbers always place a towel under the work area even after shutting off water — residual water in pipes always drains unexpectedly.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Galvanized vs plastic plug — which to use?
Galvanized plugs resist heat and outdoor exposure. Plastic plugs are lighter, cheaper and suitable for general indoor use.
How much Teflon tape to apply?
3–5 clockwise wraps on the male thread. Too few — risk of leaks. Too many — hard to tighten and may block threads.
What does PN16 mean on a ball valve?
PN16 = Pressure Nominal 16 bar — the valve is rated for up to 16 bar. Israeli household systems run at 3–6 bar, so it's more than adequate.
