When installing Swagelok tube fittings in cramped quarters or where ladders must be used, it may be advantageous to use a pre-swaging tool. It allows the
preswaging of ferrules onto the tube in a more open or safe area. After using the tool simply follow the retightening instructions.
Oversized or very soft tubing may occasionally stick in the tool after pull-up. If this happens, remove the tube by gently rocking back and forth. DO NOT TURN the tube with pliers or other tools as this may damage sealing surfaces.
1. Assemble Swagelok nut and ferrules to preswaging tool. Insert tubing through ferrules until it bottoms in the preswaging tool, and tighten nut 1 1/4 turns.
2. Loosen the nut and remove the tubing with preswaged ferrules from the preswaging tool.
3. The connection can now be made
