Installation Instructions
To make installation of the fitting easier and to avoid damaging the gaskets, we recommend deburring and slightly chamfering the end of the tube and lubricating the mating surface with soapy water or food-grade lubricant.
The UNIRAPID fitting is supplied ready for installation; assembly is extremely simple and quick, as it requires no disassembly or reassembly—simply insert the tube into the fitting’s housing until it stops. Assembly does not require any tightening tools, since the conical ring ensures mechanical resistance to disengagement in all cases; the same force that tends to pull the tube out causes, thanks to the conical fit between the ring nut and the ring, compression on the tube, which is automatically locked in place with absolute security.
The pipe-fitting connection is both extremely practical and flexible, as the two components are free to rotate relative to one another, allowing for alignment at any time and, in the case of straight fittings, the connection of the fitting to other branches.
Disassembly Instructions
The pipe clamp, which is simply screwed on without the use of clamping tools, can be removed by hand at any time for maintenance or system modifications. Once the clamp is removed, simply slide the pipe out of the fitting.
At this point, using pliers or a simple screwdriver, simply widen the toothed ring, and it, too, can be easily removed.
