Parker Tube Fitting Assembly Procedure

Spacer

Single grab ring for 1/4" & 3/8" tube

O-ring

Use 2 grab rings for 1/2" tube

Body

Nut

 

 

Tubing

Step 1: Dissemble fitting components

1/2" max

Step 2: Install the Nut first then use the bevelled side of the Spacer to push the Grab Ring onto the tube no more than 1/2". Slip the O-ring over the tube to hold the Spacer in place. If the Grab Ring is pushed too far, trim back the tube so about 1/4" of tube extends past the O-ring.

Step 3: Gently fit the tube into the body and loosely thread on the nut. Be careful not to cross-thread the nut

1/2" tube should not bottom out in the fitting to allow full compression of the O-ring

Step 4: Hand tighten the nut. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! DO NOT USE A WRENCH! The tube should not come out if pulled by hand. If it does, tighten the grab ring tabs.
