4.4 Safety notes to the EO2-Form assembly

4.4.1

EO Tube Fittings are Safe High-Pressure Connections.

A carefully assembled EO fitting will provide a sealed joint until the tube bursts. Experience has shown
that break-downs, tightening-up and leaks can be avoided by following the safety instructions. Please
check your fitting procedures.

General Safety notes

•
EO tube fittings are intended for connections for fluid applications solely.
•
Observe tube recommendations. Non-standard materials or tolerances lead to incorrect fitting.
•
Do not use bearing balls, fitting pins or tapered pins instead of EO plugs (VKA) as blanking
parts for 24º cones.
•
Do not assemble progressive rings and functional nuts on selfmade standpipe stud ends.
There is a risk of false assembly with the result of connection shear under load.
•
The use of steel cutting rings for stainless steel tubes or other unauthorised tool combinations
leads to incorrect assembly.
•
Tube connection and fitting body once assembled, should remain together. Fitting body is to
be used only once for preassembly.
•
Air bleeding of tube fittings which are under pressure can be lethal.
•
Tube under tension can lead to vibration failure. Tube length and bend angles are to be
adhered to precisely. Fix tube lines with tube clamps.
