- Insert the Tube: Firmly push the prepared tube into the push-in port of the fitting until it reaches the stop. A slight tug will confirm the connection is secure.
- Threaded Connection: Apply appropriate thread sealant (if required for your application) to the 1/8 BSPP parallel thread. Carefully screw the threaded end into the corresponding port on your pneumatic or vacuum equipment. Tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque, ensuring not to overtighten.

- Pressure Application: Gradually apply pressure to the system after installation and leak checks.
- Swivel Function: The swivel branch allows for flexible orientation of the connected tubing without disconnecting the threaded port. Adjust the branch to the desired position.
- Disconnection: To disconnect the tube, uniformly press the release collar towards the fitting body and simultaneously pull the tube out. Do not attempt to pull the tube without pressing the release collar.
6. Maintenance
Regular inspection and proper maintenance ensure the longevity and reliable performance of the fitting.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the fitting for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check for discoloration or deformation of the plastic components.
- Leak Checks: Routinely check for air or vacuum leaks at all connection points.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the fitting with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that may damage the material.
- Replacement: If any damage or excessive wear is observed, or if leaks persist after re-seating tubes, replace the fitting immediately.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air/Vacuum Leak at Push-in Connection | Tube not fully inserted; damaged tube end; worn internal seal. | Ensure tube is fully inserted. Re-cut tube end squarely. Replace fitting if internal seal is suspected to be faulty. |
| Air/Vacuum Leak at Threaded Connection | Insufficient thread sealant; improper tightening; damaged threads. | Apply appropriate thread sealant. Re-tighten to recommended torque. Replace fitting or mating component if threads are damaged. |
| Tube difficult to insert or remove | Tube end not properly prepared; release collar not fully pressed. | Ensure tube end is clean and burr-free. Press the release collar firmly and evenly when removing. |
