For pre-cutting tubing to length, the following chart shows the additional length inside the fitting assembly.

Tubing–General Applications
CBC-Lok® Tube Fittings are designed to perform in a variety of applications that demand high performance. The CBC-Lok® product line has been engineered to provide optimal performance, however tubing should always be considered as an important factor in the design stages of any system. Below is a table that describes some general uses for different types of materials. The table is provided as a reference to the Engineer in the design process.

Tylok suggests the use of seamless, fully annealed tubing. Welded tubing may be used with Tylok fittings. However, due to the manufacturing of welded tubing, variables may be encountered. The media flowing through the tubing must be compatible with the tubing itself. It is always a good rule to use like tubing material on like fitting material. If this format is not followed, the ferrules may have difficulty penetrating the tubing causing an adverse affect on the sealing ability. In addition, dissimilar materials in contact may be sensitive to galvanic corrosion. Tylok recommends ordering tubing material to meet ASTM specifications to ensure that it will be dimensionally, physically and chemically within precise limits.
