SERVICE
PTC (PUSH-TO-CONECT) FITTINGS
MAKING A CONNECTION
1. Cut the tube square. The outer diameter of the
tubing must be free from score marks, burrs or
sharp edges.
2.
Insert tube. The fitting will grip the hose before
it seals. Be sure the tube is completely inserted
into the fitting.
3. Push into the tube stop. The collet has stainless
steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position
while the o-ring provides a permanent leak-proof
seal.
4.
Pull on the fitting to check that the connection is
secure. Test the system for leaks prior to leaving
the site. (Fig. 4)
