ELBOW FITTINGS
(Optional tooling not supplied with the machine)
Elbow fittings may be crimped without a locator, but for quantity production, an elbow fitting locator kit (FT1204-150) is available. This kit
will accommodate elbow fittings through -20 size. (Visual alignment is necessary when crimping -24 and -32 sizes.)
The FT1204-150 kit consists of a yoke holder and yokes for tube sizes -4 through -16 (no yoke is required when crimping -20 size fittings). A
spacer is also included to provide the additional clearance required on some elbows.
Remove the cone locator and attach the yoke holder by tightening the set screw on the shoulder of Det. 3 (See illustration 2). Position the
fitting within the crimp dies as illustrated. Set up the assembly with the spacer inserted as shown. Slide Det. 3 forward as was instructed for
the cone locator and run nut (Det. 4) against the spacer. Crimp the fitting, pull out the spacer, push Det. 3 back against Det. 4 and remove
elbow..
