FLC0318-04 Flareless Bite Nut

Applications

• Chemical, pulp and paper, oil and gas refineries, military, air compressors and machine tools
• Well-suited for a variety of processing and general industry hydraulic applications

Features

• 3 piece design including only one ferrule eliminates possible make-up errors that may occur using a twin ferrule tube fitting.
• Minimal risk of improper assembly as the ferrule visibly bites into the tubing which allows installer to visually inspect the bite quality.

Installation

• Inspect ferrule bite in tubing by disassembling the fitting and visually inspecting the de-burred end of the tube for slight indentation.
• Finger tighten nut and then further wrench tighten nut another 1/3" to 1/2" turn.

Note

• Temperature rating is limited by the material chosen
• Pressure ratings are determined by the size (OD) and wall thickness (inches/mm) of the tubing on which they are to be installed

Specifications
