STEP 3

Now, while holding the fitting body steady with a backup wrench, tighten the nut 1 1/4 turns. Watch the scribe mark, make one complete revolution and continue to the 9 o'clock position. By scribing the nut at the 6 o'clock position as it appears to you, there will be no doubt as to the starting position. When tightened 1 1/4 turns to the 9 o'clock position you can easily see that the fitting has been properly installed.

*SWAGELOK FITTINGS ARE TO BE TIGHTENED TO A TORQUE SPEC, NOT INFINITE TIGHTNESS. BE SURE YOUR STARTING POINT IS WRENCH SNUG. (SEE STEP 4 on page 12.) A DISTORTED TUBE MIGHT GIVE A FALSE STARTING POINT.

*Swagelok fittings have a built-in spring interaction between the ferrules. This compensates for temperature changes and allows the fittings to be reconnected many times. As the fitting is tightened, a burnishing occurs between the body of the fitting and the ferrules and between the ferrules and the tube. This action provides the tightest connection available.

*When making all connections, USE TWO WRENCHES. Don't allow the fittings to turn or twist when tightening.

RECONNECTING PRE-SWAGED FITTINGS

Connections can be disconnected and retightened many times.

When reconnecting, insert the tubing with pre-swaged ferrules into the fitting until the front ferrule seats in the fitting. Tighten the nut by hand to prevent cross threading. Tighten the nut one-quarter of a turn with a wrench (or to original one-and-one-quarter tight position). Then snug slightly with the wrench. No more than an additional 1/8 turn.
