Installing a PVC compression coupling involves a straightforward process of securing the pipe ends within the coupling using nuts and rubber gaskets. Here's a breakdown:
- Slip the Nuts On: Slide the coupling nuts onto both pipe ends that you intend to join. Make sure the threads are facing outward, away from the cut ends.
- Add the Rubber Gaskets: Place the rubber gaskets onto the pipe ends, ensuring they fit snugly. The gaskets should cling to the pipe.
- Fit the Coupler: Position the compression coupling between the two pipe ends, seating the pipe ends into the coupling. Ensure that the pipe is properly seated and aligned within the coupling.
- Tighten the Nuts: Screw the nuts onto the coupling threads, tightening them securely by hand. This compresses the rubber gaskets, creating a watertight seal.
