CBC-Lok ®Installation Instructions

CBC-Lok® Tube Fittings come completely assembled and ready for use, no dissassemby required. Although there are some general guide lines to follow no special preparation of the tubing is necessary.

Simply insert the tubing into the assembly making sure the tubing seats firmly against the shoulder of the body and the nut is finger tight. Tighten nut with wrench an additional number of turns indicated above, while holding the fitting body with a second wrench.

 

To Remove Tube and Re-Connect Tube Fitting

Mark the location of the nut with reference to the body before disassembly. For reassembly, re-insert the tubing into the body until it is seated. With proper size wrench, retighten nut to original location by realigning previous marks. A noticeable amount of torque will develop when the nut is turned to original position. Next, rotate the nut slightly past original position to fully re-set the seal.

Mark the location of the nut with reference to the body. Back off the nut until it is clear of the body and remove the tubing from the fitting
