🏁 PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION TIPS
- System Planning:
- Map out your entire fluid system before beginning installation
- Use different angle fittings to create the cleanest, most direct routing
- Position separator clamps at appropriate intervals to prevent hose contact
- Consider serviceability when designing your layout
- Proper Assembly:
- Use aluminum AN wrenches to prevent marring the anodized finish
- Apply a small amount of assembly lubricant to threads before installation
- Hand-tighten fittings first, then finish with proper torque
- Typical torque specification: 15-18 ft-lbs for 6AN fittings
- Hose Installation:
- Cut hose ends square using appropriate cutting tool
- Properly prepare hose ends according to hose manufacturer’s instructions
- Install hose into fitting until it bottoms out in the socket
- Use the swivel feature to align the fitting after hose is secured
- System Testing:
- Pressure test the system before operation
- Inspect all connections for leaks
- Verify proper routing and clearance from moving parts and heat sources
- Re-check all connections after initial operation
