Materials of Construction John Guest Fittings are made up of three components: Bodies are produced in acetal coploymer or polypropylene. O-rings are produced in Nitrile or EPDML. Collets are produced in acetal copolymer or polypropylene with stainless steel teeth. CUT THE TUBE SQUARE Cut the tube square and remove burrs and sharp edges. Ensure that the outside diameter is free from score marks. For soft or thin-walled plastic tubing we recommend the use of a tube insert. PUSH UP TO TUBE STOP Push the tube into the fitting and up to the tube stop PULL TO CHECK SECURE Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. Test the system before use TO DISCONNECT Push in collet & remove tube. To disconnect, ensure that the system is depressurized, push the collet square against the fitting. With the collet held in the position the tube can be removed.
