Tubing Compatibility Chart
Every hydraulic, pneumatic and lubrication system requires some
form of tube line fabrication and fitting installation for comple-
tion. Proper fabrication and installation are essential for the overall
efficiency, leak free performance, and general appearance of any
system.
Start by planning ahead. After sizing the tube lines and selecting the
appropriate style of fitting, 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 difficult yet most significant 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 fitting joints as accessible as possible. Hard to
reach joints are hard to assemble and tighten properly. Inaccessible
joints are also more difficult and time consuming to service.
