Pipe Cutting
The stops are located in the following distances from the fitting end. |
|
 |
| |
 fittings should be in the 'unlocked' position, this is shown by colored line which a small gap between the screw cap and the body.
Ensure that there are kept free from scratches, gouges, dirt and debris or any from of damage on the circumference of all fittings. |
 |
| When cutting tubing, ensure that the ends are cut square and are free of burrs. |
| |
| |
| To Lock The Pipe Connection |
|
 |
| Ensure that the tubing is pushed into the fitting fully past both the collets (gripper) and the 'O' ring and is engaged properly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. |
| |
 |
Twist the screw cap until colored line is no longer visible. This confirms a proper, secure fit. This locks the pipe into position and increases pressure on the 'O' ring seal around the pipe for greater security.
Pull to check it is secure. It is good practice to test the system prior to leaving the site or before use.
If PEX tubing is used, then a tube insert must be used also. The tube insert acts as an internal support for the end of the tubing |
|
| |
Ensure no scratches, gouges or any form of damage on the circumference of the tubing within one (1) inch (25.4mm) of the cut end. Damage in this area may cause leakage problem.
Check fittings for any signs of damage or foreign objects.
When fittings have to be disassembled and then reused, ensure that the tubing was removed from the joint has no damage on the circumference with one(1) inch (25.4mm) of the end. Inspect the tube and fitting for any signs of damage and ensure they are free of foreign materials. fittings can then be reassembled.
Ensure Twistloc fittings and pipes are kept clean at all times by keeping them in the bags and boxes provided. Do not empty Twistloc Products onto the floor area. |

| To Separate the Pipe Connection |
| |
 |
Check if the pressure inside the system is released.
Unlock fitting by twisting until colored line is visible and clicking sound is heard.
Press collets squarely against the face of the fitting. With collets depressed, pull tubing to remove from fitting. Fitting may be reused. |

Stop End
If necessary, the SNC Stop End not only provides the permanent leak-prevention sealing effects but also enables immediate removal and system extension for re-work. In particular, this is a Push-in design for easy use.
The Stop End is also useful in system pressure testing prior to connection works. |
 |
To assemble fully push in the pipe and pull on pipe to ensure security.
To remove simply push the collet into the body and pull to release the pipe. |

Mini Manifold
For maximum flexibility, fittings can be combined to provide multiple functions. |
 |

| CAUTION |
Do not insert fingers into fittings as the stainless steel teeth may cause injury.
 fittings should not be used for gas, fuel oil or compressed air applications.
DO NOT allow contact with any checmical or foreign substance; paint stripers, solder flux, Acid based descalents or chemical. The additive customer shoulde be consulted.
All fittings and related products should be selected, installed, used and maintained in accordance with these Technical Specifications.
Do not use a damaged or scored pipe.
Do not use a hacksaw to cut a pipe. Do not leave burrs on the pipe.
If the pipe is not fully inserted, the connection cannot be properly sealed even the fitting is coupled.
You must push in the pipe passing the collets (gripper) and the O-ring inside the fitting. |
