BAC-LOK Tube fittings are delivered completely assembled, finger tight. They are ready for immediate use. Disassembly before use can result in dirt or foreign materials getting into the fittings and causing leaks.

BAC-LOK Tube fittings are installed in two easy steps.

1. Insert the tubing into the BAC-LOK Tube fitting until it bottoms in the body.

2. Tighten the nut to finger tight and tighten as follows: Mark the nut to help count the number of turns and tighten 1 1/4 turns. (For sizes 1/8” and 3/16” only – tighten 3/4 turn.)
