Cutting of Tube and Insertion of Sleeve

2-1 Cutting a tube
• Cut a tube to the standard cut length according to Table 1 and put the union nut onto the tube.
• When the tube is to be anchored at its both ends (i.e., the fittings installed on the both ends of the tube are to be
fixed to a wall or the like), cut the tube to the standard cut length exactly or with a margin of approx. 1% of thelength. (Tube length = Standard cut length x 1.01)• When the tube is used in high temperature conditions, the margin should be approx. 3%. (Tube length =Standard tube length x 1.03)• If the tube is shorter than the standard cut length, tensile force may be applied to the tube, resulting in leakage ofthe liquid.
• The standard cut length means the length between bodies (Figure 3) plus the additional length (Table 1). Whenthe tube is anchored at its both ends or used in high temperature conditions, choose the cut length according to
the instructions shown above.
• Cutting the tube to a minimum cut length (Table 1) results in the tube arrangement having no gap between theunion nuts.

Notes:• Cutting the tube to a length shorter than the minimum cut length will disable the pillar
fittings to be correctly connected to the tube.
• When the tube is to be anchored at its both ends, cut the tube to the standard cut lengthwith a margin of approx. 1% of the length. (Tube length = Standard cut length x 1.01)• When the tube is used in high temperature conditions, the margin in cut length should beapprox. 3%. (Tube length = Standard cut length x 1.03)• The union nut is direction sensitive (refer to Figure 4). If the union nut is in the incorrect
direction, the sleeve of the pillar fitting cannot be engaged in the union nut.

Notes:• Insertion tools of types JT-A4, JT-C3, JT-SA and JT-SB are improvements of types JT-A3,
JT-C2, ST-SA and ST-SB respectively. The operation procedures of the new tools arebasically the same as those of the old ones.
• Type JT-C3 can also be used for cold insertion of 10x8, 9.53x6.33, 9.53x6.53 mm tubes.

2-3 Cautions in inserting the sleeve into the tube
• Exercise care to prevent oil from adhering to the tube and sleeve. If oil is adhered to the tube or sleeve, wash it
away with a solvent and then dry the tube or sleeve well before insertion.
• Exercise care to avoid entering dust or foreign matters between the tube and sleeve.
• Exercise care to avoid damage to the sleeve when inserting it into the tube.
• Stop inserting the sleeve into the tube when the tube reaches the tube stop of the sleeve. (Figure 5)
Excessive force may deform the tube.
SleeveTube

Tube stop
Figure 5• A gap could remain between the tube and the tube stop of the sleeve when the sleeve is inserted into the tube.
In such a case, insert the sleeve into the tube until the gap is smaller than a half of the straight section on thesleeve. (Figure 6)
The gap to this extent will cause no trouble.

Tightening

3-1 Cautions in tightening the union nut••

The gap between the union nut and the fitting body serves as a criterion for proper tightening of the union nut.
The gap is divided into types A and B depending on the shape of the fittings. Table 3 shows the upper andlower limits of the gap types A and B for each tube size and the gap gauges needed to measure the gap.

1) Upper limit:

Represents the max. gap needed for the fitting to work well.

2) Lower limit:

Represents the min. gap. When the gap is smaller than the lower limit, the fitting (with its union
nut and sleeve) needs to be replaced.

3) Type A:

Applies to injection-molded fittings of straight type and machined PTFE fittings. (Figure 7)4) Type B:

Applies to injection-molded fittings of elbow and Tee type. (Figure 7)

Notes:• To check the gap, use gap gauges (feeler gauges) as shown in Section 3-2.
• On the longer thread of the panel mount union, the gap cannot be used as a criterion fortightness.
In this case, tighten the union nut firmly by hand and then tighten it one turn with a wrench.
For a special size tube where the gap cannot be used as a criterion for tightness, tighten theunion nut in the same manner.

No. 048L-1-6-

3-2 Checking the tightness of the union nut••

To check the tightness of the union nut, use gap gauges shown in Table 4.
Using the gray part of gap gauges permits you to check the gap for upper limit. The red part of gap gauges isfor checking the gap for lower limit. Determine whether or not a gap gauge can be inserted in the gap, asshown in Figure 8.

(1) Checking the gap for upper limit:
As shown in Figure 8, try to insert the gray part of the gap gauge in the gap between the fitting body and theunion nut to make sure the gray part cannot be inserted. If the gray part can be inserted, tighten the union
nut until the gauge cannot be inserted in the gap.
(2) Checking the gap for lower limit:
Try to insert the red part of the gap gauge in the same manner to make sure the red part can be inserted. If
the red part cannot be inserted in the gap, the fitting has already exceeded its service life. Replace the fitting
immediately.

3-1.
• Gap gauges are not supplied. They are available from Nippon Pillar Packing.

No. 048L-1-7-

3-3 Initial tightening•

Fit the tube with the inserted sleeve into the body of the fitting and then always tighten the union nut until
the gap between the union nut and the body becomes smaller than the upper limit.

Notes:• It is recommended that you retighten the union nut 24 hours or more after initial tightening.
This is because a decrease in tightening torque due to a creep mostly occurs within 24
hours.
If the fitting is exposed to thermal cycles, it is also recommended that you retighten theunion nut in a cold state after one thermal cycle is completed.

3-4 Installing the cap sleeve•••

Insert the cap sleeve into the fitting body and tighten the union nut.
When the tube size is 3 × 2, 4 × 3, or 3.18 × 2.18, hand-tighten the union nut (refer to Table 5).
When the tube size is 6 × 4, 6.35 × 3.95, or 6.35 × 4.35, hand-tighten the union nut and then turn the nut a half
turn with a wrench (refer to Table 5).

Caution:• Be sure to install the cap sleeve according to the above instructions. Using a gap gage
when installing the cap sleeve could result in loose installation or overtightening, causing
damage or leakage.

3-5 Removing and reinstallation••••

Loosen the union nut to remove the fitting.
When removing the fitting and reinstalling it, do not uncouple the sleeve from the tube. Handle the tube andthe sleeve as an unit.
When reinstall the fitting, tighten the union nut until the gap between the union nut and the fitting
body reaches the upper limit specified in Table 3, and furthermore, turn the union nut a half-turn.
The fitting resists ten times of reinstallation. If the gap between the union nut and the fitting body
becomes smaller than the lower limit specified in Table 3, however, the fitting needs to be replaced eventhough it has not yet been reinstalled ten times.

Caution:• Do not damage the tube/sleeve and sealing surfaces of the fitting body when reinstallingthe fitting. Doing so may result in liquid leakage from the fitting.

No. 048L-1-8-

3-6 Measures against liquid leakage•

If the union nut needs to be retightened due to liquid leakage from the fitting, lower the temperature of theliquid to 30 °C (86 °F) or less and reduce the pressure to 0 MPaG (0 psiG); then retighten the union nut by
turning it one quarter-turn with a wrench. After retightening the union nut, check to be sure that the liquid
no longer leaks from the fitting.
Note that, once liquid leakage occurs, the liquid may remain in the nut, resulting in the liquid exuding from thefitting for a while even after retightening the union nut.

4. How to insert sleeves into a short tube
If the required tube length is too short to insert sleeves into it in the manner described above, proceed as follows.
• Insert the sleeve into one end of the tube as described above. (It is recommended that you insert the sleeve
into a tube that is a little longer than required and then cut the tube to the required length).
• Open the clamp and remove the tube.
• Loosen the knob located below the tube holder, position the tube holder so as to allow the arrangement
shown in Figure 19, and then retighten the knob to secure the tube holder.
• Put the union nuts on the tube, set the inserted sleeve in another sleeve holder, and then fix the sleeve holder
to the φ 6 portion of the tube holder.
• Move the sleeve holder forward until the tube end reaches the tube stop of the sleeve.

1. Preheating the tube＊
• Using a heat gun, preheat the tube end portion of approx. 15 mm in length as
evenly as possible while rotating it.
(As a guideline, preheat the tube end portion for 10 to 15 seconds when theoutlet temperature of hot air is set to approx. 450 °C (842 °F). Pay attention
not to melt the tube.)
Figure 45. Portion to be heated

2. Flaring the tube end• Immediately after preheating, insert the heated tube into the flaring tool until it stops at the far end as shownin Figure 43, and hold the tube for approx. 10 seconds to cool it down.

3. Inserting the sleeve into the tube
• Remove the tube from the flaring tool, and insert the tube onto the sleeve until the tube end reaches the tube
stop as shown in Figure 44.

4. Heating the tube
• Remove the tube from the sleeve holder and, using a heat gun, heat the portion marked with an asterisk (*) in
Figure 45, in order to ensure close contact of the tube with the sleeve.

5. How to insert sleeves into a short tube
If the sleeve is too short to insert it into a short tube in the manner described above, proceed as follows.
• Cut the tube a little longer than required and insert the sleeve into one end of the tube as described above.
• Then cut the tube to the standard cut length and preheat the end portion.
• After preheating the tube, put union nuts onto the tube and then flare the tube.
Afterwards, insert the sleeve into the tube in the same way as described in Section 3.4.

Safety Notices
CAUTION
