Every hydraulic, pneumatic and lubrication system requires some form
of tube line fabrication and ftting installation for completion. Proper
fabrication and installation are essential for the overall effciency, leak
free performance, and general appearance of any system.
Start by planning ahead. After sizing the tube lines and selecting the
appropriate style of ftting, consider the following in the design of your
system:
1. Accessibility of joints
2. Proper routing of lines
3. Adequate tube line supports
4. Available fabricating tools
Routing of Lines
Routing of lines is probably the most diffcult yet most signifcant of
these system design considerations. Proper routing involves getting a
connecting line from one point to another through the most logical path.
Always try to leave ftting joints as accessible as possible. Hard to reach
joints are hard to assemble and tighten properly. Inaccessible joints are
also more diffcult and time consuming to service.
The most logical path should have the following characteristics:
• Avoid excessive strain on joint — A strained joint will eventually
leak. (See Figures A14 through A21.)
• Allow for expansion and contraction — Use a “U” bend or a hose in
long lines to allow for expansion and contraction. (See Figure A22.)
