Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings / Tube Insert

Specification Table

Features and Structure of Fittings

A stainless steel pipe fitting is composed of a main body, a front ferrule, a back ferrule and a nut.
Operating temperature range of Stainless Steel Pipe Fitting is -196 to 600°C.

Tightening Procedure of Fittings / How to Tighten After Removing

■ Tightening Procedure of Fittings
	(1) Insert the pipe into the fitting until the pipe tip hits the shoulder inside without removing the nut. (2) Hand-tighten the nut until the end of its rotation.    Put a mark on this position as ○ point. (3) Hold the fitting body tightly with a wrench and tighten the nut with another wrench by the rotation shown on the right. CAUTION: For plastic tube connections, use Insert (SKITK) for tubes together without fail and tighten ø4 to ø12.7 tubes by 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 rotations.	ø4 Type ø6 to ø12.7 Type
■ How to Tighten after Removing
	(1) Be sure to confirm the position of the nut before loosening it to remove the nut. (Standard position for tightening rotation)    Make sure that front ferrule is applied at the appropriate position.    Make sure that there is no foreign object on the tapered surface, front and rear of the body. (2) Insert the pipe all the way until the front ferrule contacts closely, and then tighten the nut by hand.   (Insert carefully to avoid the tapered part on the main body being scratched by the pipe end.) (3) Tighten a little more past the position before loosening by a wrench.	Position before Tighten the Nut Retightened Position (Tighten with a little more rotation)
