Assembly Instructions:
1-Cut tubing to desired length. Make sure all burrs are removed
and the ends are cut square.
2- Slide nut on tube. Threaded end “A” of nut must face out.
3- Flare end of tube with a 450 flaring tool.
a- Measure flare diameter.
b- Examine flare for excessive thin out.
c- On thin wall, welded or brazed tubing, use double flare to
prevent pinch-off and cracked flares.
4- Lubricate threads and assemble to fitting body. Nut should
be turned hand tight.
5- Tighten assembly with wrench until a solid feeling is encountered.
From that point, apply a one-sixth turn.
Note: Do not over-torque as it may damage the fitting or split
the tubing at the flare.
