Fitting Storage & Handling Fittings are packed in a protective plastic covering and should remain packed until ready for use. This plastic covering can be used to handle the fitting during installation in order to prevent contamination.
Fittings are to be stored in a warehouse in which the temperature should not exceed 50°C.
Never store fittings in direct sunlight. Plasson Black EF fittings contain a carbon black additive in order to protect from UV effects, however, unsuitable storage can adversely affect the fitting performance.
Before starting the installation process always check that the fitting has not been physically damaged during storage or handling.
If in doubt we recommend evaluation of the fittings by performing sample destructive test - this will enable to determine if surface degradation has occurred.
