Ford brass fittings are manufactured by the Ford Meter Box Company, which is based in the United States. They have a reputation for high-quality production standards, so you can relax knowing that their products meet the necessary specifications and quality for your needs.
They can stand temperatures ranging from -325° to 400°F (-198° to 204°C) and should withstand pressures up to 3000 psi. This can vary depending on the type and design, but most of them are suitable for typical residential and commercial water supply pressures.
When tightening Ford fittings for a poly pipe, it’s very important not to over-tighten them to avoid damaging something. Typically, you should tighten it until it feels snug and then give it a slight extra turn to ensure a secure fit. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations or consult a professional if unsure.
The number of turns needed to secure Ford brass fittings properly will depend on the component’s size and type. As a general rule, after you hand-tighten them, you can use a wrench for another one to two full turns and that should be enough. However, it’s important to always check for leaks and make sure it’s connected securely without applying excessive force.
