B. Installation of Tubing into Fitting:
1. Slowly push a clean and perpendicularly
cut piece of tubing into the fitting until it comes to a dead stop.
2. Pull the tubing back gently until the Collet of the fitting grips
onto the tubing and has a good seal.
3. Use Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyurethane or Nylon Tubing designed
for instant fittings.
Hard metal tubing, such as Stainless Steel tubing
as can be used if tubing is grooved
first.
C. Removal of Tubing from Fitting:
1. Push in evenly on the two sides of the Release Button.
2. Pull out the tube while keeping the Release Button depressed.
3. To reuse tubing: cut off the lodged portion of the previously used
tubing evenly and perpendicularly.
D. Tubing Size Requirements:
Follow the tubing size tolerance below:
Polyurethane Tubing: specified fitting size ± 0.004” max. (± 0.1 mm max.)
Polyethylene Tubing: specified fitting size ± 0.006” max. (± 0.15 mm max.)
Polypropylene Tubing: specified fitting size ± 0.004” max. (± 0.1 mm max.)
Nylon Tubing:: specified fitting size ± 0.004” max. (± 0.1 mm max.)
Pre-Grooved Metal Tubing:: specified fitting size ± 0.004” max. (± 0.1
mm max.)
E. Storage: Store Fittings in a dry, cool place and away from
sunlight.
