  1. Compression Fittings External nut type series 43

  2. External nut (compression fittings) • Rugged and durable • General purpose • Wide range of thread and tube sizes • For use with compressed air, compatible oils and water • Can be used with plastic or metal tube • Suitable for low and high operating temperatures* • Vacuum to high pressure* * see tube pressures

  3. Thread and tube sizes • Threads range taperR 1/8, R 1/4, R 3/8, R 1/2, R 3/4, R 1 • Threads range parallelG 1/8, G 1/4, G 3/8, G 1/2 • Tube range mm o/d4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22 • Materials • Nickel plated brass body and nut • Brass tubing sleeve Tube Thread

  4. Parts of a fitting • Tubing nut • Tubing sleeve • Body • Plastic washer on bodies with parallel threads

  5. Tube preparation

  6. 900 Tube preparation • For plastic tube use a standard tube cutter to give a square end • Ensure that the tube end is clean and free from surface damage • For metal tube use correct cutting equipment and ensure the tube end is free from burrs

  7. Tube assembly External nut compression fitting

  8. Tube assembly • Place the tubing nut and sleeve on to the tube • push the tube in up to the tube stop and hold it there • Screw the tubing nut until finger tight • With a spanner tighten the nut by 11/4 to 11/2 turns • Undo the joint and check the sleeve has been swaged evenly. Reassemble and tighten an extra 1/4 turn

  9. Tube assembly • Place the tubing nut and sleeve on to the tube • push the tube in up to the tube stop and hold it there • Screw the tubing nut until finger tight • With a spanner tighten the nut by 11/4 to 11/2 turns • Undo the joint and check the sleeve has been swaged evenly. Reassemble and tighten an extra 1/4 turn

  10. Tube assembly • Place the tubing nut and sleeve on to the tube • push the tube in up to the tube stop and hold it there • Screw the tubing nut until finger tight • With a spanner tighten the nut by 11/4 to 11/2 turns • Undo the joint and check the sleeve has been swaged evenly. Reassemble and tighten an extra 1/4 turn

  11. Tube assembly • Place the tubing nut and sleeve on to the tube • push the tube in up to the tube stop and hold it there • Screw the tubing nut until finger tight • With a spanner tighten the nut by 11/4 to 11/2 turns • Undo the joint and check the sleeve has been swaged evenly. Reassemble and tighten an extra 1/4 turn

  12. Tube assembly • Place the tubing nut and sleeve on to the tube • push the tube in up to the tube stop and hold it there • Screw the tubing nut until finger tight • With a spanner tighten the nut by 11/4 to 11/2 turns • Undo the joint and check the sleeve has been swaged evenly. Reassemble and tighten an extra 1/4 turn

  13. Tube assembly • Air pressure may then be applied

  14. Tube removal External nut compression fitting

  15. Tube removal (compression fitting) • Turn off and exhaust the pressure • Undo the tubing nut and pull out the tube • The tubing sleeve is permanently swaged to the tube • The joint can be made and remade many times • If the tube is cut to shorten it, a new sleeve is required but the tubing nut can be reused

  16. Tube removal (compression fitting) • Turn off and exhaust the pressure • Undo the tubing nut and pull out the tube • The tubing sleeve is permanently swaged to the tube • The joint can be made and remade many times • If the tube is cut to shorten it, a new sleeve is required but the tubing nut can be reused
