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.
