1.
Cut the pipe square, remove all internal
and external burrs. |
2.
Oil internal threading and cone thoroughly. |
3.
Thoroughly oil both ring and nut (do
not grease). |
4.
Fit both ring and nut onto the pipe.
Be careful not to fit the ring the
wrong way. |
|
5.
Screw on the nut by hand until it
touches. |
6.
Push the tube against the thrust of
internal cone. |
7.
Screw on until the pipe cannot turn
any more. Draw a mark on the nut to
improve the convenience of checking
the number of turns to be given. |
8.
Give the nut a 3/4 turn, the ring
clamps the pipe (the pipe must not
rotate). |
|
9.
Final clamping is achieved by tightening
the nut 3/4 of a turn. Thus, the ring
is sunk into the pipe wall. |
10.
Next, loosen the nut and check the
upset flange fills the whole cutting
face of the ring. Otherwise, tighten
a bit more. It does not matter if
the ring rotates on the pipe. |
11.
After loosening, the final tightening
of the nut should not require excessive
pressure. |
NOTE:
The straight portion of the pipe must
be 2 times the height "H"
of the nut as a minimum. |
