Installation & Compatibility
Thread Installation: Apply PTFE tape or thread sealant to male R1/8 BSP thread. Hand-tighten into female port, then wrench-tighten 1–1.5 turns. Do not over-torque.
Tube Connection: Cut tube square with a sharp blade. Push tube firmly into fitting until it bottoms out—you'll feel resistance. Tug gently to confirm lock. To release, press collet ring and withdraw tube.
Compatible Tubing: 8mm OD polyurethane (PU) or nylon (PA) pneumatic hose. Ensure tube is clean, dry, and free from burrs.
