1.5 Adequate tube insertion.
Adequate tube insertion is essential.
To achieve this, a Phastite Tube Marker should be used.
To use the Phastite Tube Marker:
Insert the tube into the Tube Marker.
Ensure the tube is against the bottom of the bore (use the inspection hole to verify).
While holding the tube, push and twist the Tube Marker one third of a turn. The higher the load applied the clearer the tube marks will
be.
The Phastite Tube Marker generates two lines on the tube.
When inserting the tube into a Phastite connector the two lines should not be visible. This ensures adequate tube insertion prior to
assembly.
After assembly only one of the lines will be visible. If both lines are visible the tube slipped during assembly and the connection should
not be used.
