Warm the poly tubing in hot water for 30 seconds if it's a cold-day install (makes the insert push-fit easier). Push the barb fully into the poly so the pipe is seated past the last retention rib. Secure with a stainless steel hose clamp or pinch clamp positioned over the barbed section — tighten until the clamp screw is snug but not over-deformed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFemale NPT branch end:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3 wraps of PTFE thread tape (or pipe dope) on the MALE fitting that threads into the 1402-130's female port. Hand-tighten plus 1 to 2 turns with a strap wrench. \u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT over-tighten.\u003c\/strong\u003e PVC female threads can split if you crank a male fitting too hard. If the joint leaks at proper torque, replace the tape and try again — don't keep tightening. Over-tightening is the #1 cause of cracked PVC female-thread ports in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlan branch direction before clamping the run:\u003c\/strong\u003e the branch port can be rotated to any angle around the run centerline before either run clamp is tightened.
