  • Slide the cap and the appropriate size seal and washer assembly (for 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", or 3/8" tubing) onto the process tube.
  • Thread the body into the cap until it is hand tight.
  • Connect the charging line. Evacuate and recharge the system.
  • Use Robinair No. 12396 Pinch-off Tool, not included, to crimp the tubing.
