Core Sub-Assembly Removal and Replacement:
1. To remove the core sub-assembly from the old body, place the body of the MediMate
connector in a clamp or vise.
2. Utilizing flats on shaft, unscrew shaft from the body. Use care so not to scratch or damage
the connector components. The core sub-assembly should easily slide out of the body. If
the components do not remove easily, gently remove parts by hand. Do not use any sharp
instruments.
3. Make sure the core sub-assembly is dry and clean. If necessary, blow-off the assembly
with clean dry air.
4. Apply a drop of LocTite 242 to the shaft threads. Use care to assure that the LocTite does
not contaminate any other components.
5. Place the core sub-assembly into the new body and tighten down with wrench until snug.
Do not over tighten.
Handle / Piston Removal and Replacement:
1. Remove the retaining ring from the clevis pin.
2. Slide the clevis pin out through the handle and body.

piston and the piston spring and transfer to the new body.
4. Orientate the handle into the new body and slide the clevis pin through the body and
handle.
5. Replace the retaining ring into the clevis pin.
