CAUTION: Dirty and scratched mandrels can
damage and contaminate the fitting. Likewise,
contamination on the clamp surface may cause
tube slippage during installation. Clean mandrels
and clamps frequently to prevent damage and
assure proper installation.
• Clean rubber-lined clamps with IPA wipe.
• Soak metal clamps in IPA for a minimum of 12
hours, and scrub clean with a stiff, nylon brush.
• Clean mandrels with IPA wipe and inspect
regularly for nicks and scratches; replace if
nicked or scratched.
