Technical Data Introduction EO Progressive Ring Fittings The flareless bite type fitting was pioneered by Ermeto in Germany in the early 1930's. When Parker annifin acquired Ermeto, it introduced the EO fittings to the US. Today, the EO fittings are the most widely used bite type fittings in the world. The EO progressive ring fitting is a flareless metric fitting that consists of a body, a progressive ring (ferrule) and a nut. On assembly, two cutting edges of the progressive ring bite into the outer surface of the tube ensuring the necessary holding power for high operating pressures. Fig. 1 EO Fitting Components: Body, Progressive Ring, Nut and Cutaway Available in three series, the EO tube fittings and accessories are manufactured in accordance with DIN 2353. The fittings and components listed in this catalog are intended solely for the assembly of connections for fluid applications. Three series of EO tube fittings (LL, L and S) and accessories are manufactured in accordance with DIN 2353 (summary) on the basis of decades of experience.* To ensure functional safety of EO tube fittings, only EO parts should be used in their assembly. Routing of tubes to be carried out in accordance with Parker/EO recommended practices. Assembly instructions are available. Design and Construction The three components of EO fittings are designed and manufactured to produce a strong, reliable, leak-free joint upon proper assembly. The EO Body. EO fitting bodies are available in over thirty configurations. The shaped products (i.e., elbows, tees, crosses) are hot forged, then machined to the stringent EO fitting specifications. The forging process used by Parker further improves the strength and metallurgical properties of the fitting material. Straight products are made from cold drawn bar stock. The cold drawing operation ensures consistently tight dimensional tolerances, as well as significantly improved strength. The EO Progressive Ring (Cutting Ring). EO progressive rings are precision machined with all dimensions and surfaces, particularly the critical bite edges, monitored on an ongoing basis. The rings are then heat treated in a manner that provides the hardness, strength, and toughness necessary to satisfy the demanding service conditions that exist in industry today. The EO Nut. EO fitting nuts are either cold formed, hot formed or machined from cold drawn material. The cold forming and cold drawing operations provide a more tightly packed grain structure, thus improving the material's strength. In addition, cold forming significantly improves the fatigue properties or endurance limits of the nuts.

Type Approvals usually are limited to certain products, applications, working conditions, validity time or other restrictions. We gladly inform you on your individual application and send out the required documentation. Numerous original equipment manufacturers and end users of various industries have approved Parker tube fittings. Part Numbers All part numbers in this catalog refer to fully assembled steel fittings, for alternatives the following applies. Body only If the basic fitting body only is required, the part number is suffixed by X, e.g., GE20SRA3CX. Less Tube Nuts and Rings only If you require fittings which normally consist of many pieces, i.e., banjos, but without the tube nut and ring, then the suffix OMD is to be added to the standard part number, e.g., W20SROMDA3C. Stainless Steel and Brass Fittings If you require stainless steel or brass fittings, replace suffix A3C with 71 for stainless steel or suffix MS for brass to the standard part number, e.g., GE20SR71 or GE20SRMS. Fig. 2 ow EO Fittings Work The EO progressive ring fitting produces a low to high pressure, leak free connection of tubes and components in fluid systems. The basic function of the EO progressive ring is the controlled progressive bite of the ring into the tube due to a unique internal geometry. The front cutting edge (A) has already started cutting into the tube before the second cutting edge (B) starts. As soon as both cutting edges have cut the tube to the designed depth further advance is limited by the stop edge (C). Owing to the design of both cutting edges and stop edge all forces arising are equally distributed. This distribution along with the specially designed interior collar (D) of the ring guarantees increased safety, particularly with regard to vibration and flexure stresses. The design and function of the progressive cutting ring ensure that service vibration loading is not present in the areas of the tubing where the bite is made. The stop edge causes a sharp increase in tightening forces which is clearly perceptible. After assembly, a visible collar (E) of cut tube material must completely fill the space in front of the first cutting edge. With stainless steel tube and hose connections made from free cutting steel, the collar is less due to the harder material. During assembly, it is absolutely essential that the tube is held firmly against the stop in the inner cone of the fitting; if not, the cutting process will not take place satisfactorily. Reassembly can be performed an unlimited number of times. 6

Technical Data Tube Recommendations For steel fittings: Seamless cold drawn steel tubes made from material St. 35.4 or from conditioned base material St. 37.4 in accordance with DIN 1630, state of delivery NBK (normal annealed) with tube outer and inner diameter tolerances in accordance with DIN 2391/ISO 3304. Max. hardness: RB 75.EO tubes, see section M. For stainless steel fittings: Material no. 1.4571 and 1.4541 Seamless drawn tubes made from austenitic, stainless steel materials no. 1.4571 and 1.4541, in accordance with DIN/EN/ ISO 1127. Max. hardness: RB 90. These tubes are particularly recommended for tube fittings, since the tube outer diameter and wall thickness, tolerances correspond to those of steel tubes in accordance with DIN 2391/ISO 3304. For brass fittings: Seamless drawn copper tube made from material with short code SF-Cu F37 in accordance with DIN 1786. Copper tube is not part of the Parker-Ermeto range. Tube wall thicknesses: In order to determine the necesary tube wall thicknesses for applications, refer to the calculated pressures provided in the tables on pages M4 and M5. The calculated pressures DIN 2413-I are for static and DIN 2413-III for dynamic loads. See page M3 for basis of calculations.

Technical Data Pressure and Temperature Load Capability Pressure Load Capability Definition of pressure specified in the catalog: Working pressure The nominal pressure (PN) as referred to in DIN 2401, part 1 draft. Permissible operating temperature (TB) range for fitting materials: Steel: -40 C to +120 C (-40 F to +250 F) (DIN 3859) Brass: -60 C to +175 C (-75 F to +350 F) Stainless steel: -60 C to +400 C (-75 F to +750 F) (DIN 17 440, AD W 10) The specifications in the Pressure reductions section are to be observed here. For sealing materials NBR (e.g. Perbunan): -35 C to 100 C (-30 F to +212 F) FPM (e.g. Viton): -25 C to +200 C (-15 F to +400 F) PTFE: -60 to +200 C (-75 F to +400 F) (Only with banjo fittings W/T) POM (e.g. Delrin): -40 C to +80 C (-40 F to 175 F) (Only with ball valves) Perbunan = registered trademark of Bayer. Viton and Delrin = registered trademarks of Du Pont. The temperature limits specified for sealing materials are approximate values, since the temperature limits can be greatly influenced by the medium. When combining the different fitting and sealing materials, the lowest temperature limit in each case is applicable. Example: GE10LR71 made from stainless steel sealed with cutting face. Temperature range: -60 C to +400 C (-75 F to +750 F) GE10LRED71 made from stainless steel with ED ring. Seal made from FPM. Temperature range: Fitting material -60 C to +400 C ED seal (-75 F to +750 F) -25 C to +200 C (-15 F to +400 F) Permissible temperature range of fitting: -25 C to +200 C (-15 F to +400 F) Pressure Reductions Recommended pressure reductions (determined by the fluid medium) for higher service temperatures. Fitting Temperature range Pressure Material C F Reductions Steel -40 to + 120 C -40 to 250 F Brass -60 to + 175 C -75 to +350 F 30% Stainless Steel -60 to + 20 C -75 to +70 F Stainless Steel + 50 C +120 F 4% Stainless Steel +100 C +212 F 11% Stainless Steel +200 C +400 F 20% Stainless Steel +300 C +570 F 29% Stainless Steel +400 C +750 F 33% Table 1 Pressure Reductions Intermediate values are to be interpolated. If the tube material used deviates from the fitting material, the tube is to be checked separately with regard to the permissible temperature range and the possible pressure reductions required. Male stud fittings may require additional pressure reductions, due to the mating port material, and the sealing mechanism must also be taken into account. For male stud fittings with cutting face, additional sealants may be required. Any request for deviation from the pressure reduction factors shown should be made to the Engineering Department of Parker annifin. The catalog working pressures represent the max. permissible operating pressure for which the temperature limits and pressure reductions listed in the above tables have been taken into account. Operational design factor at static load is 4:1. The pressure and safety specifications are based on all assemblies being in accordance to Parker-Ermeto instructions. It is further assumed that the tube routing will be laid and clamped in such a fashion that no additional stress, load or tension may act on the fittings. Tube fixtures are to be laid with sufficient stability according to the operating conditions and connected with supports. EO tube clamps are recommended for simple, problem-free assembly. Assembly Information The proper make up and assembly of EO bite type fitting is critical to their proper functioning. Following are the various methods of EO fitting make up as well as port end assembly information for EO bite-type fittings. 8

Technical Data Assembly in fitting body (for steel and copper tubes) The use of pre-assembly bodies VOMO or pre-assembly tools are strongly recommended for all assemblies (see pages 11 and 12). Stainless steel tube and fittings as well as standpipe hose ends must be pre-assembled in a VOMO body or pre-assembly tool. A) Preparing the tube 1 Maximum height for straight tube end The portion of straight tube must not deviate from roundness and straightness to the extent that the tube tolerances in DIN 2391 are exceeded.

Ensure progressive ring and nut are facing the right way. Screw nut manually on to fitting body until fingertight. old tube against the shoulder in the cone of fitting body. 10 11 E) Check 12* To measure the prescribed turns of the nut, mark nut and tube. Tighten nut 1-1/2 turns (Tube must not turn with nut). Stop edge limits over tightening by increasing tightening torque. Loosen nut. Remove tube from fitting and check if a visible collar fills space in front of 1st cutting edge completely. If not, tighten slightly more. It does not matter if ring can be rotated on tube end. F) Final assembly 13 G) Repeated assembly 14 Final assembly of all pre-assembled fittings (EW, ET, EL, EGE, RED) made in the appropriate body (well lubricated) with at least 1/4 turn of the nut beyond the point of a clearly perceptible resistance. On remaking joints, nut to be tightened without increased effort. Fitting body to be held tight. * After dismantling the tube ends for inspection they should be refitted into the same inner cone of the fitting body in which assembly was carried out. Warning: We warn against using sealing heads, form A, DIN 3868. We recommend the use of swivel nuts, form B in conformance with DIN 3865. (DKO connections). 10

Technical Data Assembly in hardened pre-assembly body (VOMO) with subsequent final assembly For frequent assembly of stainless steel tube as well as hose standpipe fittings, pre-assembly must take place exclusively in the pre-assembly bodies VOMO or with pre-assembly tools/machines (see section N). A) Inspection of pre-assembly bodies (VOMO) 1 2 The cones of the pre-assembly bodies VOMO are subject to normal wear and must be checked regularly (after every 50th pre-assembly) with cone gauges for trueness. Worn preassembly bodies must be replaced to avoid poor quality assemblies. Use of cone gauges: The rear of the gauge must protrude slightly above the top of the 24 cone or may be flush with the top face. If these conditions are not satisfied, the pre-assembly body is no longer dimensionally correct. Bodies must be checked visually for longitudinal scoring or other damage which would not be shown by the gauge. B) Preparing the tube 3 4 5 Attention: Do not use tube cutter! a) tube cut with tube cutter: heavy burr/bevel cut Saw off tube square 1/2 angle tolerance to the tube axis. Cutting the tube square is made easy with EO cutting tool (AV). b) sawed off tube: very little burr 6 C) Treatment with lubricants 7 Lightly de-burr inside and outside edge. Bevel up to 0.2 x 45 (0.010" x 45 ) permissible. Is a support sleeve necessary? (See Page 13) Clamp the pre-assembly body according to tube size and series in the vice, coat all parts (VOMO thread and taper, progressive ring, thread of the nut ) with lubricant. For stainless materials we recommend EO NIROMONT FLUID OR PASTE OR STP (see section N). 11

Technical Data Assembly in hardened pre-assembly body (VOMO) with subsequent final assembly D) Components 8 9 correct E) Pre-assembly 10 Slip nut and progressive ring over tube end. F) Check pre-assembly 11 G) Final assembly 12 incorrect Ensure progressive ring and nut are facing the right way. Screw on nut manually until fingertight, hold tube against stop in internal cone of pre-assembly body. To measure the prescribed turns of the nut, mark nut and tube. Turn nut approx. 1-1/4 turn progressive ring will have cut into the tube (tube must not turn). ) Final assembly of pre-installed fittings 13 After the pre-assembly, check whether there is a visible collar in front of the cutting edge. Check the fit of the pre-assembled tube of the tube stop of a fitting body. Use a partially split fitting for this. The top face of the pre-assembled tube must touch the tube stop of the fitting body. I) Check of final assembly 14 Loosen the nut, remove tube and check whether a clearly visible collar fills space in front of the first cutting edge. The collar for stainless tubes is less than for steel tubes due to the material hardness. It does not matter if the progressive ring can be rotated on the tube end. Put pre-installed tube into fitting body, tighten by approx. 1/4 turns of nut beyond point of clearly perceptible resistance. J) Repeated assembly 15 On remaking joints, nut to be tightened without increased effort, body to be held tight. Final assembly of all pre-assembled fittings (EW, ET, EL, EGE, RED) is made in the appropriate body (well lubricated) with at least 1/4 turn of the nut beyond the point of a clearly perceptible resistance. The assembly of stainless steel tube is made easier by unscrewing the nut a few times and treating the thread with lubricant. (This applies for paste and spray-on lubricants). For liquid lubricants, loosening of the nut is sufficient so that lubricant can get between the contact surfaces. It is recommended that test assemblies should be made before hand with tubes of a greater rigidity or special materials. If in doubt, please send us an approx. 30 cm long tube end for test assembly. 12

Technical Data Assembling with support sleeves (V) The thickness of the tube wall is often governed by the requirements of the internal pressure without taking the tube fittings and any external influences into account. If the tube wall thickness is low relative to the external diameters of the tube, this may lead to greater tube limitations (as a rule, the tube constriction should not exceed 0.3 mm for tubes up to O.D. 16 and 0.4 mm for tubes from O.D. 18 upwards). When assembling thin walled tubing there is insufficient cross sectional rigidity where the progressive ring cuts. This will have a detrimental effect on the sealing efficiency. For this, support sleeves are available which are inserted in the tube to prevent constriction and increase the cross-sectional rigidity, respectively. The shape of the tube supports allows them to be inserted easily in the tube. One end of the EO support sleeve is enlarged on its external diameter by a knurl. On insertion, this knurl forces itself into the interior wall of the tube and secures the sleeve against shifting or falling out during assembly and without widening the tube end. Steel tubes made of St 35.4 or 37.4 or soft metal tubes can be checked in accordance with Figs. 4A and 4B, respectively, to see if they require support sleeves; for plastic tubes, (support) sleeves are always necessary (see Page 119 for E sleeves). For stainless steel tubes of material 1.4571/1.4541, refer to Fig. 3B to determine the need for a support tube. Fig. 4A Recommended Tube Wall Thicknesses Steel Use of V necessary 1 Use of V is recommended especially in case of frequent loosening and with heavy-duty tubes (vibrations) Fig. 4B Recommended Tube Wall Thicknesses Soft Metal Tubing Use of V necessary 1 Use of V is recommended especially in case of frequent loosening and with heavy-duty tubes (vibrations) For range of support sleeves (V) chapter I support sleeve EO fitting completely assembled with support sleeve.

Maximum flow velocity not more than 8 m/sec (for higher flow velocities special tests are required). Sealing of male stud thread by EOlastic soft seal with types RV and RZ. Opening Pressure: Approximately 1 bar (on request also 0.5-2 and 3 bar are available. Please specify on order). Tolerance of opening pressure is ±20%. Material: Steel zinc-plated (A3C), seals of NBR (Nitrile, e.g., buna N). On request of FPM (Fluorocarbon, e.g., Viton). Features, Advantages & Benefits 1. Visible Bite The critical ferrule to tube front bite is clearly visible to tube fitters & inspectors. The presence of the recommended bite virtually eliminates any risk of catastrophic blow-off. This is a very important safety feature. 2. Sealing Capability EO fittings have demonstrated a remarkable ability to remain leak free under various service conditions ranging from sealing high vacuum and small molecules gases to high pressure hydraulic fluids. 3. Disturbed Stresses Stresses due to service flexural loading are distributed at several points in the joint, thus stress concentration in the bite is minimized. 4. Vibration Control The rear bevel of the ferrule firmly grips tubing, thus dampening the effects of system vibration in the joint. 5. Progressive Ring Design The progressive ring design provides a second bite for improved reliability and higher working pressure capability. This design also decreases the risk of improper assembly because of the sharp, high torque rise which occurs when the fitting is properly tightened. 6. Envelope Size EO fittings are comparatively small and compact, making it a suitable selection for plumbing in limited or tight space. 7. Temperature Rating EO fittings are suitable for subzero through elevated temperature applications. Service temperature rating is limited by the material chosen. 8. Compatibility Since EO fittings can be manufactured from a wide range of metals, its compatibility factor with various fluids and atmospheric conditions is virtually limitless. One simply has to select and specify Ferulok fittings from an acceptable material that best satisfies the service conditions. 9. Tube Wall EO fittings are suitable for use with light wall, medium wall, heavy wall, and extra heavy wall tubing. (Light wall tube may require support sleeve (V), as shown on Page 12.) 10. Re-Usability / Remakeability Joints can be disassembled and reassembled many times to facilitate system maintenance. This reduces the labor and material costs that would otherwise result from tube and fittings replacement. 11. Assembly No expensive, complicated tooling is necessary to assemble EO fittings. Assembly is simple when the procedures described on pages 8 through 13 are followed. 12. Materials EO fittings can be manufactured from almost any metallic material. The more popular materials currently used for EO fittings are: stainless steel, carbon steels, brass, and monel. On request the Tube Fitting Division will machine EO fittings from other appropriate material specified by users. 13. Manufacture EO fittings are manufactured under tight quality control which ensures that the product routinely satisfies or surpasses the requirements of the pertinent military and industrial standards. 14. World Wide Popularity The bite type fitting design has worldwide acceptance and is especially popular in Europe. 15. Finish Steel EO fittings have a zinc gold chromate finish. This finish provides good corrosion protection. 16. Silver Plated Nuts Stainless steel tube nuts are prelubricated with silver plated threads (size 15L-42L, 12S-38S). Thread galling is eliminated and assembly torque is reduced as much as 40 percent. This increases the speed and efficiency for stainless steel fitting assembly. 17. Availability EO fittings are available as standard in over thirty different configurations, and as many as twentyseven different size combinations in some configurations. 18. Configurations Popular configurations for EO fittings are shown in the Visual Index on pages 2 through 4. Other configurations can be manufactured on request. 17

Technical Data EO Trouble Shooting Guide Problems with bite type hydraulic fittings are most often traced to faulty pre-set/assembly procedure. Problem Solution Tube not bottomed Shallow bite Over-set ferrule Ferrule cocked on tube No bite Check for a visible mark on the tube end with EO fitting. (Fig. 6) Inspect for turned up ridge of material (collar). A failure to achieve this ridge can be traced either to the nut not being tightened enough or the tube not being bottomed against the stop which allowed the tube to travel forward with the ferrule. In some instances this assembly may be re-worked. (Fig. 7) Too much pressure or more than recommended turns from finger tight were used to pre-set ferrule, or the nut was severely over-tightened in final assembly. This assembly should be scrapped. (Fig. 8) The ferrule may become cocked on the tube when the tube end is not properly lined up with the body. Generally, this condition is caused by faulty tube bending. All bent tube assemblies should drop into the fitting body prior to make up. This assembly should be scrapped. (Fig. 9) If all of the prior checks have been made and the ferrule still shows no sign of biting the tube, it may be that the tube is too hard. This assembly should be scrapped.

Technical Data Introduction EO-2 Fitting System The heart of the EO-2 fitting is the new EO-2 functional nut with which previously metal-to-metal sealed tube connections can now be soft sealed. Naturally, all fittings in the EO-2 series are fully compatible with our Ermeto Original range of products and can be combined with them. For more demanding applications, in particular for new designs, we recommend the use of EO-2 fittings. Swivel Nut The System EO-2 Functional Nut 24 cone ISO 8434-1 The Functional Nut The functional nut consists of the nut plus the sealing and retaining rings. The sealing and retaining rings are combined in a pair and are inserted into the internal thread of the nut in such a manner that they cannot fall out, so that these three parts from one functional element. This functional nut simplifies handling of the fitting and helps to minimize storage and procurement costs. The Sealing Ring The sealing ring consists of a steel support ring with a bonded sealing lip of NBR (stainless steel support rings are bonded wth FPM). The elastomeric sealing element locates inside the fitting cone and blocks the only possible leak path. The high compression of the sealing lip guarantees excellent sealing even under high dynamic strain. The design geometry of the sealing lip additionally uses system pressure to increase the sealing effect still further. The Retaining Ring The retaining ring bites into the tube wall in accordance with the proven bite ring principle. The design and heat treatment of the ring guarantee a high degree of reliability for the mechanical joint even under constant mechanical strain. Standard Material Specifications Please see page 5. O-ring seal ISO 6149 EOlastic seal ISO 1179 Design Conformance Standards For fitting bodies and nuts, see page 6. Patents Fig. 11 The EO-2 Fitting System Design and Construction of the EO-2 Fitting EO-2, the latest development from Parker-Ermeto, is a fitting system with a soft seal on the tube side and a 24 cone according to ISO 8434-1/DIN 2353. The most important features of the system are: functional nut separation of sealing and retaining functions elastomeric soft seal consistently safe assembly results EO-2 sealing and retaining ring combination is patented with the German Patent Office (Patent No. 4038539). International patents are pending. Approvals EO-2 holds Lloyd's Register of Shipping approval number 93/20023. Other approvals are being prepared. 19

Technical Data Part Numbering All fittings in the EO-2 series are normally supplied complete with EO-2 functional nuts (FM) on the tube connection side and seals on the port connection side. To order complete fittings with EO-2 functional nuts, use the letter Z in the part number. Example of order: GE12ZSREDA3C GE12SREDA3C EO-2 complete fitting corresponding progressive ring fitting from The EO product series ow EO-2 Fittings Work The assembly of the EO-2 fitting is very simple. It can be assembled directly into fitting bodies. When the necessary tightening point has been reached, the gap between the sealing and retaining rings closes; the surface contact of both rings makes it impossible to overtighten the union. The noticeable rise in torque at the end of assmebly guards against undertightening. All assembly aids such as pre-assembly bodies and the automatic ydra-tool can, of course, be used during assembly of the EO-2 fittings. Pre-assembly gives a finished assembled joint. When finally installing the tube to the fitting body, the joint only has to be retightened. A large number of repeat assemblies are possible; the sealing ring can be replaced if necessary (see Page 23 for assembly instructions). The Advantages Soft sealing on tube side ensures optimum leak-tightness and improved operational reliability. Insensitive to vibration and pressure spikes. Simple and reliable assembly control, repeated assembly no problem. Cost-saving dry assembly, no lubrication of individual parts and preassembly equals a finished assembly. No complicated preparation of tubes. Replacement of sealing ring no problem. Ease of handling. Functional nut with integrated sealing and retaining elements. Tube Recommendations Please refer to page 7 for tube recommendations for steel, stainless steel and soft metal tubing. In order to determine the necessary tube wall thicknesses for applications, refer to the calculated pressures provided in the tables on pages M4 and M5. The calculated pressures DIN 2413-I are for static and DIN 2413-III for dynamic loads. See page M3 for basis of calculations. Pressure and Temperature Load Capability Please see page 8. Media Compatibility Permissible working media for NBR seal materials (e.g. buna N): mineral oils FA, FB, FC fluids diesel fuel and heating oil water up to 100 C compressed air up to 80 C environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids ETG (basis: rape oil) EE (basis: ester) EPG (basis: polyglycol) This information is based on test results, manufacturers' recommendations and experience. In the case of critical applications, prior consultation with the responsible agency or with our applications engineering department is necessary. NOTE: FC hydraulic fluids can remove the zinc plated surface! The Applications EO-2 enhances the proven Parker-Ermeto EO fittings in all sizes of the light and heavy series. The system is suitable for wide spread use in hydraulic systems. EO-2 fittings and accessories conform to DIN 2353/DIN3859. The operational reliability of EO-2 fittings depends on the exclusive use of EO parts and their assembly as well as designing the tubing layout according to instructions (see assembly instructions). We reserve the right to carry out alterations in the interest of technical improvements. 20

Technical Data Assembly Instruction EO-2 Tube Preparation 1 2 Caution: Do not use tube cutters; they produce an undesirable bevel cut and push material to the I.D., reducing the flow passage. a) tube cut with tube cutter: heavy burr/bevel cut Cut tube squarely. A 1 angle deviation is permissible. Recommendation: EO tube cutting tool and a hacksaw with double-sided blades. b) sawed off: very little burr 3 4 Cutting the tube square is made easy with EO cutting tool (AV). Deburr inside and outside diameter of the tube. Chamfer up to 0.3mm x 45 is permissible. Recommendation: InEx Tube Deburring Tool Part Number 226. Caution: Burrs on the tube O.D. can damage the EO-2 seal. 21

Technical Data Direct Assembly in the EO-2 Fitting (for steel tubes in accordance with DIN 2391-C-St 37.4 NBK) 1 2 3 Fitting Preparation: Lubricate the fitting body threads of the following sizes: Steel Fittings: 20, 22, 25, 28 *Lubrication is recommended for ease in assembly Stainless Steel Fitting: For all sizes, lubrication is recommended for ease in asssembly igh quality Niromont (liquid or paste). Note: Other lubricants may not provide desired performance. It is strongly recommended that a hydraulic tool be used to preset EO-2 fittings in sizes 30S, 35L, 38S and 42L. Assembly: Insert tube into the EO-2 fittings body and press hard against the stop in the inner cone. NOTE: A faulty assembly will result if the tube is not against the tube stop in the fitting body. To achieve the necessary assembling force, an additional wrench leverage may be necessary for tube O.D.'s 20mm and larger. Turn nut until wrench resistance is felt. Tighten nut further 1 to 1-1/2 turns. As a recommended process control, mark the position of the nut relative to the fitting body. 4 5 Inspection: Loosen the nut and check that the gap between the sealing ring and ferrule is fully closed. A slight gap (up to 0.2mm) due to spring back is acceptable. Re-assembly: Connect tube and nut to fitting body. olding the body rigid, tighten nut with a wrench until resistance is felt. Continue turning the nut approximately 1/6 to 1/4 turns (= 1 to 1.5 flats) to the same position as it was prior to disassembly. If the assembled position was marked, reassemble until the marks match. To achieve the necessary assembling force, use an additional wrench leverage for tube O.D.'s 20mm and larger.
