2.5 CONDUIT LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The conduit as supplied is an assembled unit 36 in (914 mm) long. If shorter lengths are desired, the conduit
may be cut and reassembled according to the following steps.
A) Disassemble existing fitting on one end. Save the fitting components. Wrap hose with masking tape at
cut–off point and cut square to length through taped area using a sharp cut–off wheel or a fine–tooth
hack saw. Remove tape and trim any loose wires flush with tube stock. Any burrs on the bore of the tube
stock should be removed with a knife. Clean the hose bore. The wire braid will tend to ”neck down” on
this end. This is characteristic of wire braid hose and can be used to advantage in the assembly of the
fittings. Slip the socket over the ”necked down” end of the hose, positioned approximately 3 in (76 mm)
from the end. Mount nipple hex in a vise. Work the hose bore over the nipple to size the tube and aid in
separating the braid prior to fitting the sleeve. Remove hose from nipple.
B) Push the sleeve over the end of the tube and under the wire braid by hand. Complete positioning of the
sleeve by pushing the hose end against a flat surface. Visually inspect to see that tube stock butts
against the inside shoulder of the sleeve. Set the sleeve barbs into the Teflon tube by pushing the
assembly tool or a round nose tapered punch into the end of the sleeve and tube.
