Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/4 in NPT test cock on my backflow preventer without cross-threading?

Wrap PTFE tape on the male NPT threads, hand-tighten the bronze cock into the test port, then finish with a wrench no more than one to two turns to avoid cracking the fitting.

What maintenance will the bronze test cock need over time?

Operate the handle quarterly to prevent mineral seizure; replace the cock if the seat leaks during a backflow test or if the bronze body shows dezincification or cracking.
