Thermoplastic Fittings

Note: Provide adequate fail-safe mechanisms such as leakage detection sensors, automatic shut-off controls or other industry and code ap-

propriate fail-safe devices in the design of your water-handling appliance to protect against personal injury and property damage. Plastic fttings

containing an o-ring have a fnite life depending on the environment, media and severity of the application. Frequent inspections and replacement

of the ftting when anomalies are found is recommended.

Fast & Tite

®

fttings are the most complete line of plastic fttings for ther-

moplastic tubing in the industry.

Fast Assembly

Step 3.

Loosen nut on ftting until three

threads are visible. Fittings for

glass tubes must be disas-

sembled and the grab ring

removed. If the ftting has been

disassembled the components

are to be placed in the follow-

ing order: ftting body, o-ring,

spacer, grab ring and nut.

Assemble the nut until three

threads are showing on the

body before inserting tube.

Use Fast & Tite

®

fttings with Parker Parfex tubing or other plastic, glass

or metal tubing for low pressure or vacuum lines up to the pressure

limits shown below.When using clear vinyl tubing or urethane tubing,

it is necessary to use a TS tube support. A tube support can be used

with any tubing for maximum holding power where tensiling, vibration or

pressure spikes may occur.

Fast & Tite

®

fttings meet FDA and NSF-51 requirements for food

contact.

Working Pressures for Fast &Tite

®

Fittings

Ratings are based on use with copper tubing, and in all cases represent

the maximum recommended working pressure of the ftting only.Work-

ing pressures (vs. temperatures) of other types of tubing may limit the

tube and ftting assembly to pressures lower than shown above. Consult

factory for recommendations on applications other than shown above.

Temperature Range:

Black/White Polypropylene: 0°F (-18°C) to +212°F (+100°C)White

Nylon: -40°F (-40°C) to +200°F (+93°C)

Fast & Tite

thermoplastic tube fttings from Parker will prove to be the

answer to your tubing connector needs. Patented Fast & Tite

®

fttings

install in seconds without tools and provide a tight, sure, leak proof seal

without clamps or adjustments. A unique 302 stainless steel grab ring

for tube retention, coupled with a Nitrile O-Ring for positive seal, assures

good tube connection with only hand tight assembly. A plastic grab ring

is also available upon special request. Vibration or tube movement will

not break the seal and cause leakage. Preassembled in either highly

inert polypropylene, or strong, durable nylon, Fast & Tite

®

fttings are the

answer to full fow thermoplastic tubing system requirements.

When necessary, Fast & Tite

®

fttings can be disassembled by hand for

fast system drainage. Fittings are completely Field Attachable. Parts are

easily replaced. O-Rings are standard size and universally available.

(For applications requiring other than Nitrile O-Rings, consult your Fast

& Tite

®

distributor.)

Step 1.

Cut the tube squarely and

remove any burrs.

Step 2.

Mark from end of tube the

length of insertion. If using a

tube support, insert fully into

tube and then mark from end

of tube support length of inser-

tion. (See table below)

Step 4.

Moisten end of the tube with

water. Push the tube Straight

into ftting until it bottoms on

the ftting’s shoulder. Tighten

nut by hand. Additional tight-

ening should not be necessary,

but 1/4 additional turn may

be added if desired. Do not

overtighten nut as the threads

will strip and the ftting will not

function properly. A proper

assembly will not show the in-

sertion mark extending beyond

the nut. If the insertion mark

is visible, then steps 1 thru 4

must be repeated.
