Parralell thread end feed fittings

[mutley racers]

Morning all. Just about to install a crosswatwr shower valve and want to connect in the valve with end feed 22mm x 3/4 male. Manual says not to use tapered threads. Cannot find parallel out there that come with end feed.

Any ideas

Thanks

As BSPT and BSTT will fit in each other’s female sockets; you will be fine using a tapered thread, just don’t graunch it up too much and measure carefully in case it needs shortening.

Is it only compression that do parallel threads? The valve comes with a 15yr warranty so don't really want to mess that up by using tapered.

Anyone used loctite 577. Going to be trying this on my metal to metal fittings from now on.

Thanks. Still a bit weary when MI's say not too.

Yes tapered will be better with 577

Parallel unless tight you have to leave for 24 hours

Watch out with the crosswater body. They seem to use some really crap brass in their castings

Geesh, not what I am wanting to hear as this valve just cost me over 1300 quids

Think I will just have to go with compression with parralel threads. Crazy really as compression fittings are meant to be accessible.

Would a tank connector be a bodge too far? Has a parallel thread!

20 quid a pop.

20 quid a pop.

Makes the price of the valve seem very reasonable!

If it does the job and gives you peace of mind then why not.

Hi Shaun, where did you find the info on parralel threads cure time. I cannot find any info on the uses of 577?
