The following removal procedure is used for the 1 1/4”, 1 1/2” & 2” TECTITE fittings
and all compatible tube materials.
1. Place the tangs of the adjustable spanner wrench in
opposing slots in the end cap and loosen the end
cap by turning wrench in a counter-clockwise
direction (Fig. 1).
2. Pull the end cap away from the fitting body and
place the removal ring around the tube with the
tapered end of the removal ring toward the grab
ring (Fig. 2).
3. Slide the removal ring and end cap toward the
fitting body and thread the cap onto the fitting
body by turning clockwise until the threads of the
end cap engage the threads of the fitting body (Fig.
3).
4. Screw the end cap onto the fitting body until it is
hand tight, pull tube straight out (Fig. 4). If the tube
does not remove easily, try tightening the end cap
slightly. Excessive tightening is not necessary to
spread the teeth of the grab ring.
5. Unscrew the end cap and take out the removal ring
once the tube is removed from the fitting. Inspect the
grab ring and o-ring for signs of damage, replace if
damaged.
6. Reinstall o-ring, protection ring & grab ring and then
screw on end cap. The fitting is ready for tube insertion.
