The WolfGrip system is extremely easy, quick and does not require the use of expensive and complex equipment. Just a few operations and the joint is ready for use.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF ALL COMPONENTS AND THE CORRECT INSERTION THEREOF
1
After checking the condition of the surface of the pipe (there should be no evident scratches, abrasions, dents that could lead to leakages), perform a precise and straight cut at the desired measurement.
The cut shall be cut closest to a right angle (90° with respect to the axis of the pipe) as possible.
2
De-burr the previously executed cut at the external surface of the pipe and eliminate possible chippings and/or cut residue along the edge of the internal diameter.
Eliminate the cut residue, dust, and impurities possibly present in the pipe with the aim of avoiding future problems to the pneumatic apparatus is important.
3
Untighten the ferule, by turning it by half rotation anticlockwise: the distance between the body and the ferule shall increase.
Mark the splining depth indicated by the special spline gauge (ALPIM1680) on the pipe. The mark thus obtained shall indicate the point of arrival in the internal abutment of the fitting.
This will allow avoiding incomplete insertions.
4
Lubricate the end of the pipe and/or contact surface of the O-ring gasket using our Wolfgrip lubricant so as to facilitate the operation.
5
Insert the pipe into the fitting and push until the pipe reaches the internal fitting pipe stop, with the edge of the fitting flush with the spline mark.
6
Tightening shall be carried out by hand tightening up to the stop point, then approximately a further 180°, using a sector wrench.
AVOID THE USE OF SLIDING AGENTS, OILS, GREASES WHOSE COMPATIBILITY YOU ARE NOT SURE OF.
IF NOT SURE, PLEASE CONTACT US!
7
A correct tightening of the fitting shall position the nut approximately halfway over the tightening marking point.
Joints executed using the WolfGrip systems do not require waiting times after completion; pressurisation is instantaneous.
