A Making Swagelok Connections
Installation and First Startup 57
Using a Swagelok Tee
To supply gas from a single source to more than one input, use a Swagelok Tee.
Do not combine valve actuator air with flame ionization air. The valve action will cause major
upsets in the detector signal.
Materials needed:
• 1/8-inch preconditioned copper tubing
• Tubing cutter
• 1/8-inch Swagelok nuts and front and back ferrules
• 1/8-inch Swagelok Tee
• Two 7/16-inch wrenches
• 1/8-inch Swagelok cap (optional)
1 Cut the tubing where you want to install the Tee. Connect the tubing and Tee with a
Swagelok fitting. See Figure 19.
