ELCON TUBE FITTINGScome to you completely assembled, finger-tight. They are ready for immediate use. Dis-assembly before use can result in dirt or foreign material getting into the fitting and causing leaks
ELCON TUBE FITTING are installed in three easy steps.
Insert the tubing into the ELCON TUBE FITTING. Make sure that the tubing rests firmly on the shoulders ofthe fitting and that the nut is snug tight, in this position the tube does not rotate by hand.
Before tightening the ELCON nut, scribe the nut atthe 6.00 o'clock position.
Now while holding the fitting body steady with a backup wrench, tighten the nut one-and-one quarter turns* Watch the scribe mark, make one complete revolution and continue to the 9.00 o'clock position. *For 1/8", 3/16", 3 & 4 mm size tube fittings, only % turns from finger-tight is necessary the joint is now complete.
HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATIONS, HIGH SAFETY FACTOR SYSTEMSDue to the variation of tubing diameters, a common starting point is desirable. Therefore, use a wrench to snug up the nut until the tubing will not turn (by hand) in the fitting. Now tighten the nut one-and-onequarter turns and the fitting is ready to hold pressure well above the working pressure of the tubing.
RE-TIGHTENING INSTRUCTIONSDue to the variation of tubing diameters, a common starting point is desirable. Therefore, use a wrench to snug up the nut until the tubing will not turn (by hand) in the fitting. Now tighten the nut one-and-onequarter turns and the fitting is ready to hold pressure well above the working pressure of the tubing.
