Supply Hose (optional)
9.6.1. Assemble Q.D. Socket Fittings
1.
Refer to Figure 9-8 and install a new
Gasket (16) in the Quick Disconnect
(Q.D.) Socket (17).
a. Hold the Gasket (16) with the
grooved face toward the Quick Dis-
connect (Q.D.) Socket (17).
b. Squeeze the sides of the gasket and
insert one end of the new Gasket into
the Socket.
c. Press the Gasket into its seat with
fingers or a blunt tool.
d. Check that the gasket seats securely
in the socket.
NOTE
Allied does not provide the supply
hose mentioned below. The connec-
tion instructions apply to typical
1.5-inch pneumatic supply hoses
(equivalent to 100R2 hose).
2.
With its
larger internal bore (hose
end) facing up, clamp the Hose Socket
(14) in a vise, as shown in Figure 9-9.
NOTE
The threads on the hose side of the
Hose Socket are left hand threads.
Turn the hose:
·
Clockwise to loosen.
·
Counterclockwise to tighten.
3.
Thread the Supply Hose end into the
Hose Socket, turning the hose coun-
terclockwise until it bottoms in the
Hose Socket.
4.
Back the Supply Hose out of the Hose
Socket ½ of a turn clockwise.
This allows linear expansion of the
hose when it is compressed by tighten-
ing the Q.D. Socket (17).
5.
Remove the assembled Hose Socket
and Supply Hose from the vise.
6.
Apply a 2-inch open-end wrench across
the flats of the Hose Socket (14) to hold
the assembled hose and socket
in
place.
