*This procedure applies to all Phastool

®

 assembley tools.

**If using a 3/8’’ tee connector, it is recommended to 
assemble the branch end first.
1. Select and prepare the tubing (pages 11 - 17).
2. Insert the tube into the tubemarker, the tube must rest 

against the bottom of the bore, (Figure 34) the inspection 
hole can be used to verify the this. While holding the 
tube in position, apply positive pressure against the 
tubemarker and twist the tubemarker through 360°. The 
ball bearings inside the tubemarker polish the tubing, 
without scratching its surface (thus not allowing for 
corrosion to initiate). Two polished lines will be visible 
once the tube has been removed from the tubemarker.

NOTE: Direction of rotation is not important (Figure 35).
4.  Install the inserts into the assembly tool. The orientation 

will depend on the type of connector to be assembled 
(Figure 36).

5.  Place the chosen connector between the inserts (Figure 

36). The orientation will depend on the type of connector 
to be assembled.

6.  Ensure that the connector is abutted against the insert in 

the fixed jaw.

7. 

BOTTOM OUT THE TUBING. 

Place the tubing into the 

tool and ensure positive engagement of the tube grips. 
Slide the tubing into the Phastite

®

 connector ends. The 

two lines produced by the tubemarker should not be 
visible. This ensures adequate tube insertion prior to 
assembly (Figure 36).

*Please note that the marked tubing can also be inserted 

into the Phastite

®

 connector before being placed into 

the tool.

8.  If any lines are visible, it is an indication that either the tube 

is not abutted correctly at the bottom of the Phastite

®

connector body or the tube was marked incorrectly.

9.  Check again to ensure the tube is correctly inserted into 

the Phastite

®

 connector.

 
The tubing is now correctly inserted into the Phastite

®

connector and no tubemarker lines are visible:
