Remove burs from the outside diameter of the rube. Clean and remove any shavings.
Add oil on the tube (use only petroleum based oils) before inserting the fitting (oil is not essential, however it helps make insertion of tubing easier during assembly.)
Fittings D20, D25, D32 and D40mm are
supplied fully assembled. Insert the tube
into the fitting. To make insertion easier,
rotate the tube on itself while making the
connection. Be sure tubing is securely
inserted in the fitting.
Only for tube diameters D50 and D63mm.
To facilitate installation, fittings are supplied with unscrewed nuts. Once the tube is inserted into the fitting, tighten the nuts to the torque specified below.
