GENERAL INFORMATION:

 

The 

FasMate

 

is designed to provide a safe, reliable leak-tight seal and 

connection when properly maintained and used. A flat, smooth, sealing 
surface perpendicular to the connector axis is required around the female 
test port. Verify the connector seal mates well with the sealing surface.  
Improper mating with a test piece can result in poor sealing, leakage and risk 
of connector failure resulting in damage or injury. 

MAINTENANCE:

 

User must establish a regular interval for maintenance as determined by the 
user media and operational environment. 
 
Periodically inspect the 

FasMate

 

and its seal for wear, damage and proper 

operation. Inspect also for lubrication needs or corrosion. Repair or replace as 
required to assure proper sealing, function, and safety. 
  
Difficulty  of  operation  indicates  a  need  for  inspection,  lubrication,  repair  or 
other maintenance.
