Replacement of Main Seal:
1. Place lever in the in-line position so that seal/collet assembly is in the relaxed
position. Using a pointed repair tool to get behind the main seal (B) and roll this seal
over the front of shaft.
2. Verify correct size and material of replacement main seal.
3. Install the replacement main seal (B) by rolling it over the front end of shaft into the
space between the shaft and sleeve ramp (C). Be sure seal is seated in groove.
4. Lube collet assembly with a liquid or spray that is compatible with the main seal
material and your specific application.
5. Rotate lever to actuate connector. Visually verify that the connector gripping and
sealing action is correct.
CAUTION: Attach assembled connector to a test piece and tug on the
connector to assure proper engagement and gripping of collet before introduction
of pressurized test media.
Safety Warnings – General Guidelines:
1. If instructions are not completely understood by operator or components
are missing, contact FasTest before attempting use of the connector.
2. All operating parameters should be considered when connector selection
is made. Parameters include, but are not limited to: dimensional
tolerance, hardness and surface finish of test piece, pressure or vacuum
requirements of application, fluid compatibility, temperature, environment
and mechanical load or vibration affecting the connector.
3. FasTest JNL Connectors must only be used with test pieces of a specific
size as indicated by the part number. Improper use could cause
separation of the connector from the test piece resulting in physical harm
or damage. The connector part number and maximum pressure rating is
marked clearly on the label.
4. FasTest JNL Connectors are to be used only on materials that meet the
following specifications: The test piece has to have a surface finish
greater than 16rms and a hardness of no more than 95Rb, to grip and
seal at the rated pressure. A surface finish of 8rms may be acceptable if
the test piece has a hardness greater than 40Rb. If the application is out
of this range, or there is a question concerning this requirement, contact
FasTest
.
5. CAUTION REMINDER: Keep fingers or other objects away from
gripping collets when actuating connector. Pinching or crushing
can occur.
6. FasTest JNL Connectors are not internally valved, and will not
prevent loss of media when disconnected. Do not attempt to
disconnect unless safe conditions are met.
Connector Maintenance:
• A daily, weekly and periodic inspection of the connector by competent person is
recommended. User must establish a regular interval for maintenance as determined
by the user media and operational environment.
• Lubricate connector on regular intervals. Petroleum jelly is recommended but care
should be taken to verify the lubricant is compatible with the application.
• Inspection should include visual checks of the collet sealing area, housing, missing
or loose components, leak tightness, ease of operation, sufficient lubrication, wear, dirt
accumulation and damage.
• Use only original FasTest spare parts that are designed for the application and are
subject to strict quality control. See warranty.

JNL Lever Action Grip and
Seal Connectors.
DESCRIPTION: JNL Series Connectors seal on the inside
diameter of holes and tubes. Instant internal connections to
1,000 psi.
JNL Connectors provide a reliable leak-tight connection that grips and
seals in holes and ports. Simply place the JNL connector into a port, activate
the mechanical gripping and sealing action, then introduce the test media. For
vacuum to 1000 psi applications with air, gas or liquid, Fastest JNL
Connectors provide secure, leak tight sealing for manual connections.
Please thoroughly read and understand each of the following four steps before
operating the connector. The use of pressurized media for sealing, testing and
filling requires a thorough understanding of the FasTest JNL Installation and
Operating Instructions.

2. Dimensional Information
3. Collet and Seal Installations
4. Safety-General Guidelines
•
The connector is designed to mate with a specific application. Verify the
application prior to the introduction of pressure or processing.
•
Use only in a safe environment.
•
Connectors are NOT designed for permanent connections and are for
temporary connections only.
•
