Fitting Assemblies Instruction Assemble the ProFlex CSST Fittings in 6 Easy Steps

Installation Instructions

  1. Thread and tighten the NPT end of the fitting into the fixed connection. Use appropriate sealant on the NPT thread.
  2. Using a utility knife or scissorstyle pipe cutter, cut through the coating of the tubing just behind the fourth valley and remove the jacket form the tubing.
  3. Slide the nut over the CSST tubing and jacket.
  4. By hand, open the split/retainer ring just wide enough to drop over the end of the tubing, place it in the fourth valley and secure it closed around the tubing by hand. Do not break the retainer/split ring in half.
  5. Slide the washer/slide ring over the end of the tubing followed by the silicone O-ring. (O-ring should sit in the third valley when properly installed).
