Medical Compressed Gas Connectors
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.
step 3
Connect the hose securely and leak-tight to inlet or
outlet. 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 (Figure 1).
step 4
Review total connector function:
MediMate cga 870 and cga 950 (Figure 2)
• Check leak-tight seal.
• Check handle operation.
• Check seal-face/piston movement.
• Check that marking complies with application.
Medical and Industrial cga 540 (Figure 3)
• Check leak-tight seal.
• Check that collets open and close properly by
actuating the connector several times.
• Check that marking complies with application.
note
Avoid lateral forces like short connecting hoses
as this could cause leakage.
