Dimensions & Drawings

Assembly Instructions

1.Cut and Clean: Cut the tubing square. Remove all burrs and clean off any loose cuttings.

2.Prepare Tubing: For metallic tubing, skip to step 3. For non-metallic tubing, insert a support spigot into the end of the tube first.

3.Insert Tubing: Loosen the nut by a half turn and insert the tube into the fitting. Push it firmly through the sleeve until it hits the tube stop and cannot go any further.

4.Tighten Nut: Tighten the nut by hand until finger-tight. Then use a wrench to tighten it to a spanner-firm position. (Caution: Do not over-tighten).

5.Leak Test: For pneumatic applications, apply a soapy water solution to check for bubbles. For hydraulic applications, visually inspect the joint for any fluid leaks.
