Installation Instructions Fig. 1
Preswaging Tool
1. Install the Swagelok nut and ferrules onto the preswaging tool.
2. Insert the tube into the preswaging tool.
Fig. 2
3. Make sure that the tube rests firmly on the shoulder of the preswaging tool body and that the nut is finger- tight.
4. Mark the nut at the 6 o’clock position.
Fig. 3
5. While holding the preswaging tool steady, tighten the nut one and one-quarter turns to the 9 o’clock position.
For 1/16, 1/8, and 3/16 in.; 2, 3, and 4 mm tube fittings, tighten the nut only three-quarters turn to the 3 o’clock position (Fig. 1).
6. Loosen the nut.
7. Remove the tube with preswaged ferrules from the preswaging tool. If the tube sticks in the preswaging tool, remove the tube by gently rocking it back and forth. Do not turn the tube (Fig. 2).
8. Insert the tube with preswaged ferrules into the fitting until the front ferrule seats against the fitting body.
9. While holding the fitting body steady, rotate the nut with a wrench to the previously pulled-up position; at this point, you will feel a significant increase in resistance.
10. Tighten the nut slightly (Fig. 3).
Do not use the Swagelok gap inspection gauge with fittings that were assembled using the preswaging tool.
