Piping, Tubing & Fittings

New Presetting Tool for Instrumentation Tube Fitting Installations

New presetting tool is used to preset ferrules on tubing prior to final assembly
into a fitting. The presetting tool is ideal when an installation must be made in
tight spaces or hard-to-work areas. Manufactured from carbon steel, the preset-
ting tools for instrumentation tube fittings are available in sizes
5/8-inches and up. To use the preset tool, the user must
secure the tool in a vise; remove the protective nut and
assemble the fitting nut and ferrules loosely onto
the tool; then insert the tubing through the
nut and ferrules until it bottoms in the pre-
set tool. For more information on Piping,
Tubing, Hoses & Fittings, go to Page 6.
