BAC-LOK Twin Ferrule Assembly Instructions

BAC-LOK Tube fittings are delivered completely assembled, finger tight. They are ready for immediate use. Disassembly before use can result in dirt or foreign materials getting into the fittings and causing leaks.

BAC-LOK Tube fittings are installed in two easy steps.

1. Insert the tubing into the BAC-LOK Tube fitting until it bottoms in the body.

2. Tighten the nut to finger tight and tighten as follows: Mark the nut to help count the number of turns and tighten 1 1/4 turns. (For sizes 1/8” and 3/16” only – tighten 3/4 turn.)

Assembly Instructions

It is recommended that when Bac-Lok fittings are to be Installed, a pre-assembly tool is used, pre-assembling the joint.

The joint is then broken, and assembled with, nut, ferrules & tube attached, insert into the Bac-Lok coupling body until the seating seals firmly. Tighten the nut until a rise in torque is felt, then tighten the nut a further small amount to ensure the assembly is positively sealed.
