InstallatIon
step 1
Protect the connector from damage and dirt by keeping it in the original packaging until you are ready to use it.
step 2
Check that the connector part number and delivery notes (if applicable) comply with the application.

Connect the hose securely and leak-tight to inlet B (Figure 1). Tighten to a max torque of 15 ft-lbs.
A higher torque can result in damage causing leaks when the system is pressurized.
Ensure that the connectors cannot be damaged when loading and removing the cylinder.

Review total function:
• Check leak-tight seal
• Check if collets open and close properly by actuating
the connector several times
• Check if connector marking complies with the
application
• The FasTest connector is ready to operate
note
Avoid lateral forces like short connecting hoses because
this could cause leakage.
