Installation:
Connect hose/fitting securely to the termination port of the connector.
1/8” NPT tighten to a maximum torque of 12 ft-lbs.
1/4” NPT tighten to a maximum torque of 25 ft-lbs
3/8” NPT tighten to a maximum torque of 40 ft-lbs
Operation:
Connecting Action:
1.
Depending on the bore size the main seal(s) may need to be preloaded to
properly fit and seal the bore. To pre-load seals prior to insertion into bore
make sure handle is in line as shown in Fig 1, spin back cap in or out and
it will compress or de-compress the main seal(s).
2.
Insert connector into bore and rotate handle, making sure a good seal is
made with test piece. If too loose or too tight in bore adjust back cap
again. If you can’t rotate handle then you’ve compressed main seal too
much.
3.
Lock cap in place with lock ring.
4. Insert connector into port and rotate handle 90° degrees in either
direction. Main seal is compressed as handle is rotated.
•
CAUTION NOTES;

DO NOT force connector onto test part when connecting. Forcing the connector
will result in poor sealing and possible leakage.
•

5. Activate test media through connector termination port.
Disconnecting Action:
1. Deactivate test pressure. (DO NOT ROTATE LEVER UNTIL TEST
PRESSURE HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED).
2. Rotate lever to the horizontal position and remove from test piece.
