900 Tube preparation • For plastic tube use a standard tube cutter to give a square end • Ensure that the tube end is clean and free from surface damage • For metal tube use correct cutting equipment and ensure the tube end is free from burrs
Tube assembly External nut compression fitting
Tube assembly • Place the tubing nut and sleeve on to the tube • push the tube in up to the tube stop and hold it there • Screw the tubing nut until finger tight • With a spanner tighten the nut by 11/4 to 11/2 turns • Undo the joint and check the sleeve has been swaged evenly. Reassemble and tighten an extra 1/4 turn

Tube removal External nut compression fitting
Tube removal (compression fitting) • Turn off and exhaust the pressure • Undo the tubing nut and pull out the tube • The tubing sleeve is permanently swaged to the tube • The joint can be made and remade many times • If the tube is cut to shorten it, a new sleeve is required but the tubing nut can be reused
