8.6 Installation Procedure for Adapters/Probes and Fittings
CAUTION
: Do not use any Loctite® products or any products
which contain Methacrylate Ester as an active ingredient to seal
the threads on the adapters/probes and fittings.
All Ohio Medical regulators are supplied with 1/8” NPT female
ports. The standard port facilitates simple adaptation to any quick
disconnect system. Fittings are available from Ohio Medical
to adapt to your quick connect system. We recommend you
purchase the appropriate fittings with your regulator at the time
of purchase. The fittings will then be factory installed prior to
shipping.
In the event that you must assemble or disassemble fittings,
please follow these instructions:
1.
Prior to installing the fittings wrap the thread with Teflon tape
Ohio Medical P/N 6700-1987-800 or equivalent.
2. Apply appropriate torque 4.0 ft-lb (5.4 N-m) minimum to 10.0
ft-lb (13.6 N-m) maximum.
3.
Adapters/Probe and fittings which are not keyed for specific
orientation, should be torque approximately 6.0 ft-lb (8.1
N-m).
4.
Adapters/Probes and fittings that are keyed to specific
orientation, must be torque initially to 4.0 ft-lbs (5.4 N-m). Additional torque is applied only until orientation is correct.
5.
Make sure wall adapter are installed to specific orientation so that they are mount straight on wall.
6. The regulator is now ready to be place in service on your suction system.
