Identification
To differentiate metric Seal-Lok from standard (inch) Seal-Lok,
the following identification features have been incorporated in
the design:
• Straight connectors (straight studs) have a short length
of turn diameter with a small groove machined in it’s
middle, as seen i
• The locknuts on shaped connectors (stud elbows, tees
and crosses) have a similar turn diameter adjacent to the
washer, without a groove, as seen i
• The sleeve is identified by a small groove machined on
its large diameter as shown i
Versatility
The Seal-Lok fitting is very versatile in that it can be used with
inch and metric tubing, as well as hose (see Fig A6).
The following example illustrates the options with a ½" (-8)
Seal-Lok fitting:
• ½" fitting and ½" nut can connect to ½" tubing using the
½" sleeve.
• ½” fitting and ½" nut can connect to 12 mm tubing using
12 mm sleeve.
• Without nut and sleeve, ½" fitting can connect to hose.
The process also works in reverse. A metric Seal-Lok fitting
and metric nut can connect to inch tubing by simply using the
inch sleeve.
Tube Wall Thickness
Recommendedmin/max tubewall thicknesses for inchandmetric
Seal-Lok are provided in Tables A2 and A3, respectively.When
using the braze method, all tube wall thicknesses can be used.
For Parflange min/max tube wall thickness range, please refer
to page S26 for tooling availability.
With any fitting, proper assembly and installation is critical to its
success.Please refer t
for the proper assembly
and installation procedures for the Seal-Lok fitting.
