Question: How do I Install a Jaco Fitting?
By
Jaco Fitting
Answer:
1. Cut the tubing end squarely and remove the internal and external burrs.
2. Insert the tubing through the back of the nut all the way through the nut assembly to the tube stop in the fitting body. If the tubing does not enter the nut easily, loosen the nut one turn and then insert the tubing all the way to the tube stop in the fitting body.
3. Turn the nut hand tight.
4. Wrench tighten the nut 1-1/2 to 2 turns.
5. All nuts must be re-tightened when the system reaches projected operating temperature.
NOTE 1: It is not necessary to disassemble this fitting for application. Merely insert tubing to stop and tighten seal.
NOTE 2: Squeaking sound when tightening nut is normal. For pipe threaded connections, Teflon Tape must be used.
