Operating Instructions for MBE Connectors
Note: Sleeve styles may change but operation is constant.
OPERATION:
1. Move the sleeve backwards to disengage the connector.
2. Place male end of test piece into the connector and make sure it is
completely inserted. Move the sleeve forward to engage the connector into
the part.
3. Slightly pull the back of the connector to insure engagement before testing.
Do not pull back on the sleeve after engagement.
4. These connectors will have proper engagement when the sleeve is
completely forward over the connectors body. Improper engagement can
result in loss of media and/or injury.
CAUTION:
The maximum rated pressure is 500 psi. Before using, verify that this
pressure rating is within your working pressures.
These connectors are not internally valved. Disconnect while pressurized
can cause rapid separation and high velocity loss of media.
These connectors are designed for temporary connections and must be fully
mated to seal. Inadvertent loosening and loss of media can result when
used as permanent connections.
TO DISCONNECT FROM SEAT:
Deactivate the test pressure. Move connector’s sleeve backwards to
disengage. Remove connector from test piece.
MAINTENANCE:
Periodically inspect connector and seal for proper operation. Replace or
repair parts as required to assure positive sealing and performance.
Establish a regular interval of lubrication. The media and environment will be
determining factors in establishing this interval to prevent dryness and/or
corrosion.
NOTE: Difficulty of operation after continual use indicates need for
lubrication or other maintenance. Repair parts, instructions and tools are
available. Please contact your FasTest Distributor or the Factory for
assistance.
