7.4.1 Installation of the Tube Fittings

•
Insert tubing into the Swagelok tube fitting.
• Make sure that the tubing rests firmly on the shoulder
of the tube fitting body and that the nut is finger-tight.
• Scribe the nut at the 6 o’clock position.
• While holding the fitting body steady with a back-up
wrench, tighten the nut 1 ¼ turns to the 9 o’clock
position.
7.4.2 Reassembly of the Tube Fittings
You may disassemble and reassemble a Swagelok tube fitting as often as required.
• Insert tubing with pre-swaged ferrules into the fitting
body until the front ferrule seats.
•
Rotate the nut with a wrench to the previously pulled-
up position. At this point, a significant increase in
resistance will be encountered.
