5.8 TUBE CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION, CUTTING AND ROUTING
CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION
Tubes are connected as shown by the diagrams below:
A. Slide a nut over the end of the tube
B. Push the tube onto the
connector as far as possible
C. Feed the nut up to the connector,
fully tighten by hand and finally
tighten one additional turn using
spanners
CUTTING
To achieve good sealing and air-tight fitting of tube ends to their
connecting parts, it is very important to cut tubing cleanly and squarely. A
dedicated guillotine action tubing cutter is recommended, or a craft knife
if such a tool is not available. Do not use electrician’s side cutters.
