PRIMELOCK FITTING HANDHELD INSERTION TOOL
FITTING DISASSEMBLY
—
Care must be taken when disassembling PrimeLock
fittings. Follow these instructions precisely to avoid
fitting disassembly issues.
As shown in the example below, rotate the tube in
a circular motion and slowly extract the tube with
the insert from the nose of the PrimeLock fitting.
If the tube is not rotated, the insert may disengage
from the inside of the tubing and remain on the nose
of the fitting.
Follow these steps to properly remove the tube from
a fully installed PrimeLock fitting:
If the insert remains on the nose of the PrimeLock
fitting, carefully remove the insert without damaging
the fitting nose and discard. Install a new insert into
the tube. Reusing a PrimeLock insert may cause
sealing issues.
