nylon tubing and fittings. To install nylon tubing
cut ends of nylon tubing square and clean. Assemble
nut over tube, open end out, then put sleeve (ferrule)
on tube. Add correct size insert to tube end so that
tube will not collapse when fitting is tightened.
Lubricate sleeve and threads of fitting and nut with
oil (OE/HDO). Make sure fittings are positioned to
minimize bending of tubing at installation. Insert
tube straight and square all the way into male fit-
ting. Run down nut and thread it on, then tighten
nut until sleeve grips tube (moving tube while
turning nut until you can no longer turn or move
tube. After sleeve grips tube, tighten nut turn.
