  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What does '40 mm $\times$ 25 mm' mean on this reducing bush?

   • It means the fitting has a 40 mm male thread (the part that screws in) and a 25 mm female thread (the hole that accepts the smaller pipe/fitting).

2. Can I use this to connect a 40mm pipe to a 25mm pipe directly?

   • No, this fitting only adapts the thread size. You would screw this bush into a 40mm female fitting, and then screw a 25mm male-threaded fitting into the bush's female opening.

3. Do I need to use PTFE tape with this fitting?

   • Yes. It is highly recommended to use PTFE (thread) tape on all threaded connections to ensure a complete, long-lasting, and leak-proof seal.
