Presetting Instructions
1. Cut the tubing squarely and lightly deburr the end of the tubing
inside and out.
2. Lubricate the sleeve, nut and threads with a good grade of
lubricant compatible with the system fluid.
3. Slide the nut and sleeve on the tubing. The thicker end of the
sleeve should be towards the nut.
4. Insert the tube into the preset tool making sure it is bottomed
on the tube stop. Tighten the nut by hand as much as possible.
5. On the tube sizes up to and including 18mm O.D., tighten the
nut 1-1/2 turns past hand tight. For larger tube O.D.’s, tighten
the nut 1-1/4 turns past hand tight.
6. To inspect preset, mark the nut location and remove nut. The
sleeve should be covering 70% to 80% of the sleeve face
thickness.
7. To reinstall, tighten the nut 1/6 turn (one hex flat) past the
previous nut location.
