Section 4: Setup
4.0 CONNECTING 3” J-FORCE
Prior to installing the 3” J-Force onto the hose, flush the system to clear
any debris.
For 22,000 psi operation (9/16” Type M Male, 3/8”MP LH/RH, 9/16”MP
LH/RH Inlet)
1. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the Type M connection or
to the male MP hose/lance end.
2. Install the JF3X22 and tighten to 30 lb-ft. (9/16” Type M Male), 25 lb-
ft. (3/8”MP LH/RH) or 30 lb-ft. (9/16”MP LH/RH).
For 15,000 psi operation (NPT Female Inlet)
1. Apply 3-4 wraps of Teflon thread sealant tape to the male NPT hose
end.
2. Apply anti-seize compound over the sealant tape for protection against
galling in connection threads.
3. Tighten the connection 1-1/2 to 2 turns past hand tight. All NPT pipe
connections should have a minimum thread engagement of 4 threads.
4.1 An anti-withdrawal device (backout preventer) should be used to
prevent the tool from accidentally exiting the pipe under high pressure.
Hose restraints (whip checks) should be used at all high pressure hose
connections including the fluid end discharge. See Appendix B for a list of
backout preventers.
