• Slide nut, Sleeve onto tubing. The thread end of the nut must face out.
• Insert the tube into the fitting. Be sure the tube is bottomed on the fitting shoulder.
• Assemble nut to body, and tighten the nut.Materials-Elbow and Tees Brass forgings-Pioneer compression fittings are made from BS-218 material. The exceptional strength of forge fittings (Over 80% stronger than castings) provides an extra safety factor.

Connectors, Unions and Nuts

Stress relieved brass bar stock-BS-249.

Temperature Ranges

From - 65oF - 250oF

Vibration

Fair resistance to vibration or tube movement, depending on applications involved. Use long nut for additional resistance to vibration.

Applications

Use with copper, brass and aluminium. Not recommended for steel tubing manufactured for low & medium pressure tubing connection work where excessive vibrations or tube movement is not involved. This fittings is widely used for connecting gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum and air lines
