The product of Riemannian manifolds has metric
g=p1∗​g1​+p2∗​g2​,g((u1​,u2​),(v1​,v2​))=g1​(u1​,v1​)+g2​(u2​,v2​).

The tangent summands are orthogonal, and positivity follows because a nonzero product tangent vector has a nonzero component. Its Levi-Civita connection is the product affine connection of the two factor Levi-Civita connections: mixed torsion is zero and metric compatibility follows from independence of the two coordinate sets.
