| No flaring, soldering or other preparation of tubing necessary to
assemble. This economical fitting is readily available in a broad
selection of styles. Manufactured from CA 360, CA 345 or
CA 377 brass.
Specifications
Listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories for flammable liquid.
Compression fittings meet functional requirements of SAE J-512.
Refer to list of UL listed fittings on page 6 for specific configurations.
Applications
Use with copper, aluminum, and Parflex thermoplastic tubing.Not recommended for steel tubing. Manufactured for low
and medium pressure tubing connection work where excessive vibration or tube movement is not involved. Not recommended for
application using gaseous media.
Working Pressure Ranges
Temperature and type of tubing
used are important factors.
However, the following table is a
good guide for proper selection.
Temperature 73°F. For thermoplastic
tubing, see manufacturers
recommendation for pressure
range.
Temperature Ranges
From -65° to +250°F with soft
metal tubing. For thermoplastic
tubing, see manufacturers
recommendation for tubing
temperature range.
Vibration
Fair resistance to vibration or tube movement, depending on applications
involved. Use long nut for additional resistance to vibration.
Assembly Instructions
1. Slide nut, then sleeve onto tubing. The thread end of the nut must
face out.
2. Insert the tube into the fitting. Be sure the tube is bottomed on the
fitting shoulder.
3. Assemble nut to body, and tighten “hand-tight”. Then follow the
number of wrench turns as indicated in the following table.
