DESCRIPTION: Sleeve Activated Connectors for Sealing Male
Threads and Formed Tube Ends.
CAUTION: 60V & 70V Connectors are internally valved. Disconnecting
while pressurized can cause rapid separation. Termination pressure
should be relieved prior to disconnecting connector.
Connecting while pressurized is doable but not recommended.
Example of connection forces; At 80psi with a Body Size 3 connector
the force to connect is approximately 44 lbs.
Body Size 4 connector is approximately 56 lbs. at 80psi.
Please thoroughly read the instructions prior to operating the connector. This
connector is designed to provide a safe, reliable leak-tight seal and
connection when properly maintained and operated.

The connector is designed to mate with a specific application. Verify the
application prior to the introduction of pressure or processing. Use only in
a safe environment. Safety chains and guards are recommended for all
applications.
•
Connectors are NOT designed for permanent connections and are for
temporary connections only.
DO NOT EXCEED pressure rating as marked on connector or
corresponding literature. Before using, verify that this pressure rating is
