2.5.1.2 Stainless steel (gold-plated) fitting with long flats and 2-piece stainless steel

ferrule (V-detail)

First use

Long flats

Compression screw

2-piece stainless steel ferrule

Tighten the fitting finger-tight plus an additional 3/4-turn using a 1/4-inch open-end wrench. For
detailed instructions about assembling new fittings, see 

Assembling new fittings

.

Tip: 

To prevent band spreading, ensure that the tubing is fully bottomed in the connection port

before you tighten the compression screw.
