All ingredients in FAST & TITE fittings meet FDA and NSF requirements for food contact
and potable water.
Ratings are based on use with copper tubing, and
in
all cases represent the maximum
recommended working pressure of the fitting only. Working pressures vs. tem-
peratures of other types of tubing may limit the tube and
fitting
assembly to pressures
lower than shown above. Consult factory for recommendations on applications other
than shown above.

Loosen nut on fitting until three threads are visible. Fittings for glass tubes must be
disassembled and the grab ring removed.
Step4
Moisten end of the tube with water. Push the tubes STRAIGHT in to fittings until it bottoms
on the
fittings shoulders.
Tighten nut by hand. Additional tightening should not be
necessary, but 1/4 additional turn may be added if desired. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
nut or threads will strip and the fitting will not function properly. A proper assembly will
not show the insertion mark extending beyond the nut. if the insertion mark is visible,
then steps 1 thru 4 must be repeated.
Step 5
When using clear vinyl tubing,
it
is necessary to use a “TS” tube support. Disassemble the
fitting and place
the
nut, grab ring, spacer and tube support, in that order
on
the tube.
Locate the grab ring at the insertion mark as shown, Seat the 0-Ring in the body then
proceed with Step 4.
