Installation

Elite-Lok Fittings follow the industry standard installation instructions.

Fittings 1/4" - 1"

  1. Tubing must be properly cut (exactly perpendicular to the tubing) and deburred (inside and outside).
  2. Insert tubing into the fitting fully until it rests against the stop inside the fitting.
  3. Hand tighten the nut and mark the fitting body and nut at the 6 o'clock position.
  4. Tighten the nut with a pair of wrenches 1-1/4 turns from hand tight. Your mark on the nut should now be at the 9 o'clock position.
  5. Verify the gap between the nut and body of the fitting with an appropriate gap gauge for the size of fitting with which you are working.
    * If the gap gauge fits into the gap tighten slightly more and re-verify.

Fittings Smaller Than 1/4"

For all fittings smaller than 1/4" use the same instructions as above, but turn only 3/4 of a turn on step 4.

Fittings Larger Than 1"

For all fittings larger than 1" it is recommended to use a hydraulic pre-swaging device. Attempting to manually install fittings of this size can damage the fitting threads and cause reduced pressure containment. It is also reccomended to use appropriate lubrication on the fitting threads to prevent gauling and other damage.
