| Advantages
No flaring, soldering or other preparation of tubing is necessary.
Pre-assembled fitting, with sleeve machined onto nut. This two
piece flareless compression design is available in a broad selection
of configurations from 1/8" through 5/8" OD. tube size.
Applications
Use with copper, brass, seamless steel and thermoplastic tubing
for instrumentation systems, farm and mobile construction equipment,
hydraulic and pneumatic controls, process control systems and
laboratory equipment.
Steel tubing must be cold drawn and annealed seamless low-carbon
steel tubing per SAE J524 with a maximum hardness of Rockwell B 65.
Brass insert 63PT is recommended for use with thermoplastic tubing.
Working Pressure Range
Up to 4,300 psi depending on tubing being used
Assembly Instructions
1. Cut tube squarely and cleanly removing all burrs.
2. Grasp fitting. Do not remove nut.
3. Insert tube in fitting through nut until tube seats firmly against tube
shoulder in body.
4. Grip tube firmly to prevent turning and tighten nut to finger-tight.
Continue to tighten nut for one and three-quarter additional turns
(one and one-half turns for 1/2" size tube fittings) for a positive, leak
proof seal. During tightening a slight "give" will be felt. This "give"
indicates the sleeve has been sheared from the nut. It is not
necessary to tighten the nut all the way down.
To Reconnect:
1. Reinsert tubing
2. Tighten nut one-eighth of a turn more than previous make-up.
