The supplied nut facilitates assembly and allows uniform tightening to prevent leaks.

Technical Specifications and Materials

The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) used for this faucet presents exceptional mechanical properties. This thermoplastic material offers remarkable chemical resistance, low permeability to water and gases, as well as excellent resistance to stress cracking. The black color incorporates anti-UV additives that protect the material from premature aging caused by solar exposure.

The 3/4'' male thread complies with French gas thread standards, guaranteeing universal compatibility with standard female fittings. The overall diameter of 2.5 cm at the thread level facilitates gripping and allows the use of standard tools for assembly. The smooth finish of the faucet body prevents dirt accumulation and facilitates maintenance.

Installation and Practical Use

Installation of this polyethylene faucet is carried out quickly thanks to the included fixing nut. Start by cleaning the contact surfaces and optionally apply Teflon tape on the thread to optimize sealing. Screw the faucet into the female fitting by tightening moderately with the supplied nut, without forcing to avoid damaging the thread.

In operation, this faucet supports the usual pressures of domestic networks and irrigation systems. Its ergonomic operation allows progressive opening and closing of flow, ideal for precisely adjusting watering according to plant needs. For maintenance, periodic rinsing with clear water is sufficient to maintain optimal performance.

During winter, remember to completely drain the faucet and associated pipes to avoid damage caused by frost. HDPE resists low temperatures well, but residual water could cause cracks during expansion.
