63PT-0462 Compression Insert

Applications

• Use with copper, aluminum and thermoplastic tubing.
• Manufactured for low and medium pressure tubing connection work where excessive vibration or tube movement is not involved.

Installation

• No flaring, soldering or other preparation of tubing necessary to assemble
• Slide nut, then sleeve onto tubing. The thread end of the nut must face out.
• Insert tube into the fitting. Be sure the tube is bottomed on the fitting shoulder.
