2 ompany Information 1926 SSP ittings orp. is founded in leveland, Ohio, U.S.. SSP begins as a contract manufacturer of screw machine products in brass and carbon steel to general industry. 1940s World War II shifts the company s focus to production of fittings for tubing, pipe, and hose. ollowing the war, SSP s customers are able to satisfy their own requirements without relying on outside companies for production. SSP contracts. 1970s New ocus. By the early 1970s, SSP embarks on a market & manufacturing driven strategy of producing quality fittings from difficult-to-machine alloys. he performance requirements of customers utilizing these materials in industries as diverse as marine, defense, offshore oil, and aerospace, drive SSP to establish both conformance quality standards, and service levels, which are significantly ahead of general industry at the time. 1980s he Works. hings are really happening for SSP. he company establishes a product line and distribution channel for hydraulic fittings, which require significant investments in a new, state-of-the-art facility south of leveland. SSP builds a 165,000 sq. ft. facility to house our vertically-integrated Works, including, by now, tool & die design & production, custom closed-die forging, machining, finishing operations, assembly and test. With over 200 work centers, SSP s winsburg Works is among the largest single-site facilities in the entire industry. 1990s Market xpansion. In response to continued customer requests for alternative product offerings in the Instrumentation fitting and valve marketplace, strategic plans were developed to design, manufacture and distribute merican-manufactured, tube fittings and valves as direct alternatives to the registered trademark brands of Swagelok, Parker PI and Hoke yrolok. SSP introduces fully-validated design alternatives under brand names uolok RI, Unilok, tube fittings; ruit pipe, weld, hose and adapter fittings; and lolok valves he New orce. SSP becomes the fastest-growing specialty fitting manufacturer in the United States selling through independent distributors. With an established, efficient US distribution network in place, SSP expands into global markets with additional fabricated products including tubular and hose assemblies. Significant continued investments allow SSP to renew our commitment to providing customers with best value through time-based competitive advantage, maximum objectivity in our product recommendations based on mastery over an ever-increasing range of fluid system fitting designs, and a commitment to integrity and honesty in our business relationships.

OPRION hrough critical interaction of precision-machined fitting components with the process tube, a leak-tight seal is achieved. he simple geometric rotation of the nut provides the axial thrust necessary to "coin" the ferrules to the outside diameter of the tube. o eliminate any potential stress on an existing system, the tube fittings have been designed to not transmit installation torque from the tube fittings to the tube. uring the rotary movement of the nut, the internal surface of the nut meets with the rear surface of the rear ferrule to axially move the rear ferrule forward against the back radius of the front ferrule. Simultaneously, the front ferrule is driven forward into the angular section of the fitting body to form a primary metal-to-metal seal. he rear ferrule roll-in locking action occurs on the outside diameter of the tube to complete the sealing action and secure the tube within the fitting. he controlled ferrule drive prevents body distortion and helps compensate for exposure to system variables such as vibration, pressure pulsation and thermal expansion or contraction. QULIY SSP's Quality System has been certified to conform to the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Standard. chievement of this prestigious status further confirms SSP's continuing commitment to quality which is reflected throughout the company in its personnel, policies, equipment, products and service. RI In addition, all tube fittings are manufactured to the technical design specifications and rigid quality control standards of the SSP Instrumentation ivision. Statistical Process ontrol techniques are employed within the manufacturing process to assure timely, meaningful feedback to the production team. ttention to detail, through continual process monitoring and control, provides the necessary manufacturing quality for the instrumentation tube fittings. PKIN tube fittings are individually bagged to assure the highest levels of quality, safety and cleanliness. he protective bags eliminate contamination (tubing burrs, dirt, etc.) from entering the fitting prior to its use, and help to retain the integrity of the factory assembled body, nut, and ferrules. s long as a tube fitting is in its original protective bag, it is identified as "factory new," completely assembled and ready for installation. he individually bagged tube fittings are packaged in convenient, small-lot quantities for easy procurement and handling. dditionally, for efficient product identification and storage, the boxes are colorcoded to the tube fittings' material of construction and have pictorial labels which include the part number, product description and box quantity. 4

5 ube ittings MRILS 316 SINLSS SL straight configuration tube fittings are machined from type 316 stainless steel cold-finished bar stock in accordance with SM Shaped bodies are machined from close-grained 316 stainless steel forgings in accordance with SM ll 316 stainless steel components are heat code traceable with certified material test reports (MRs) available. BRSS straight configuration tube fittings are machined from 360 and 345 premium brass bar stock in accordance with SM B-16 and SM B-453. Shaped bodies are machined from precision forgings of -377 brass in accordance with SM B-124. PRSSUR RINS enerally, tube fittings are rated for pressures equal to the maximum allowable working pressures of the tubing recommended for use with the fittings. However, it is important to note that many specially designed fittings, bored-through fittings and fittings having N, O-Seal and S/MS integral ends may have lower pressure ratings than that of the tubing. (See SSP s Selection uide for Instrumentation ittings and ubing on pages or contact your local uthorized istributor for more information regarding tubing and fitting pressure ratings.) MPRUR ORS tube fittings function reliably in applications ranging from cryogenic temperatures to high temperature bake out with the tube fitting material as the limiting factor. It is important to note that elevated temperatures may affect the maximum working pressure capability of the tubing system. (or more information regarding the effects of temperature on tubing pressure ratings, consult able 5 regarding temperature stress factors in SSP s Selection uide for Instrumentation ittings and ubing on pages ) INRHNBILIY tube fittings are designed, manufactured, quality controlled and distributed to be totally interchangeable with the Hoke yrolok brand of tube fittings. omponent by component examination plainly shows the two brands as completely component-intermixable". he precision manufacturing of both products to stringent tolerances under rigid quality control procedures ensures the safety, performance and reliability of service whenever Hoke yrolok and component parts are mixed. dditionally, tube fittings are considered able to be "functionally interchanged" with the Swagelok brand of tube fitting. "unctionally interchanged" allows for the use of a nut and ferrule system with a Swagelok body, or a Swagelok nut and ferrule system with a body. he exceptional quality characteristics of both product lines assure complete product performance whenever the two brands are "functionally interchanged". LIIM WRRNY tube fittings are covered by a published lifetime warranty as printed on the inside back cover of this catalog. UB SLION areful selection and specification of tubing is essential to the performance of a tubing system. When choosing the appropriate tubing material, size and wall thickness, consideration must be given to the system s environment, pressures, temperatures and flows.

6 Installation Instructions INIIL INSLLION 1. tube fittings come individually bagged and completely assembled for immediate use. here is no need for disassembly prior to use. Simply remove the tube fitting from it s bag, insert the tube* until it bottoms in the tube fitting body and then hand tighten the nut. (See figure #1) igure #1 *ubing ends should be cut as straight as possible with all O.. and I.. burrs removed. Use of a tubing cutter or guide blocks with a hacksaw is recommended. [NO: or extreme system applications using high pressures or requiring an extra factor of safety, it may be desirable to use a common make up starting point to alleviate the inherent variations in tubing diameters. Installation should begin from a snug position, which is achieved by wrench tightening the nut until the inserted tubing will not move by hand (approximately 1/8 turn). rom this new snug starting point, continue with the recommended installation instructions.] 2. While holding the fitting body stable with a back-up wrench, scribe the nut for a reference point and wrench tighten the nut 1-1/4 turns. (See igures #2 and #3.) igure #2 igure #3 1-1/4 turns for all sizes [NO: or all sizes, tighten plugs (P), machined ferrule end of port connector (P) and the end of the emale N adapter (N) only ¼ of a turn.] RSSMBLY INSRUIONS 1. o reassemble a tube fitting connection, simply insert the tubing with the previously coined ferrules and nut into the fitting body until the front ferrule seats within the fitting body, and then tighten the nut by hand. (See igure #4.) igure #4 Back-Up Wrench [NO: By following proper reassembly procedures, tube fitting connections may be disconnected and reconnected repeatedly.] 2. While holding the fitting body stable with a back up wrench, use a wrench to rotate the nut to the fitting s original installation position (approximately ¼ turn from the hand-tight, snug position) then continue to tighten the nut slightly. (See igure #5.) igure #5 rom original installation position, tighten slightly OMPONN SSMBLY Should individual component assembly of a tube fitting ever be required, careful attention must be given to the proper sequence and direction of the components. (See igure #6.) igure #6 Back-Up Wrench Nut Rear errule ront errule Body Back-Up Wrench 6

7 Pre-Setting ool he pre-setting tool is used to pre-set the ferrules on the tubing for subsequent installation in a fitting body. he pre-setting tool can be especially helpful when an installation must be made in a tight space or hard-to-work area. he presetting tool allows the major portion of the installation work to occur in a more favorable work setting with only the completion of the installation in the hard-to-work area. PR-SIN INSRUIONS 1. Secure the pre-setting tool in a vise. 2. Remove the protective nut, and assemble the nut and ferrules loosely to the pre-setting tool. Insert the tubing through the nut and ferrules until it bottoms in the presetting tool, and then follow the standard tube fitting installation instructions from page 6. (See igures #7 and #7B.) 3. Loosen the nut and remove the tubing with the pre-set ferrules and nut from the pre-setting tool. (See igure #8.) igure #8 4. Installation of the tubing, with the pre-set ferrules and nut in the appropriate fitting body can now be made by following the standard reassembly instructions from page 6. (See igures #9 and #9B.) 5. Return the protective nut to the presetting tool. igure #9 igure #9B igure #7 igure #7B [NO: o extend the life of a presetting tool, lubricate the tool with a lubricant compatible with the system s tubing material, environment and media. lso, at times an oversized or very soft tubing may tend to stick in the presetting tool after make up. o remove the tubing, gently rock the tubing back and forth. Never turn the tube with pliers or another tool as such action may damage the sealing surfaces.] 7

O BOR UB O.. ube itting In general, tube fittings may be used with a variety of plastic tube materials without any special preparations. However, very soft-wall, pliable tubing such as ygon needs a tube insert for support prior to insertion in the tube fitting. he standard tube fitting installation instructions (see page 6) are then followed for proper make-up. 49

50 Selection uide for Instrumentation ittings & ubing SSP flareless instrumentation quality tube fittings have been designed and manufactured to provide leak free connections in a wide variety of applications. he design characteristics of the tube fittings compensate for many of the field variables involved in the installation of the tube fittings and with the tolerances, wall thickness, finish and quality of the tubing. reliable leak free tubing system will be achieved by combining the proper selection and handling of tubing with the proper tube fitting selection and installation. he following information is provided to assist in the tube selection process. MRIL he tubing material chosen must be compatible with the system s contained media, pressure and temperature, as well as with the environment in which it will be installed. lso, the tubing and tube fitting materials should be similar for optimum sealing action to occur (stainless fittings for stainless tube, brass fittings for copper tube, carbon steel fittings for carbon steel tube, etc.) he mixing and contact of dissimilar materials may leave the system susceptible to galvanic corrosion and/or not allow proper tube fitting make up to be achieved. dditionally, the tube fittings have been designed and manufactured to function within the hardness ranges allowed for similar tubing material by applicable SM specifications as referred to in ables 1-4. PRSSUR N LOW he size of the tube s outside diameter (O..) and the necessary wall thickness are determined by the systems pressure and flow requirements. ables 1-4 detail the suggested tubing sizes and wall thicknesses for use with instrument tube fittings. dditionally, the tables provide the maximum allowable working pressures for each size of tube recommended for use with instrument tube fittings. If no pressure is shown on the table for a particular size, the tube is not recommended for use with instrumentation tube fittings. he tubing system should not be utilized above the tube s maximum allowable working pressure; however, instrument tube fittings have been tested as leak tight to the burst pressure of the tubing in all recommended sizes and wall thickness. MPRUR he system s operating temperature may effect the initial choice of tubing material and may also effect the maximum allowable working pressure for the given tube size (see able 5 for temperature stress factors). LIH S SRVI Light gasses such as hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, etc. have extremely small molecules which can be released through the smallest of leak paths including tubing surface imperfections or defects. o provide a successful connection for light gas service, the tubing must have a thick enough wall to provide resistance for the setup action of the ferrules to further compensate for the tube s potential surface condition. ables 1-4 show the tubing sizes and wall thicknesses recommended for light gas service. HNLIN N INSLLION Surface scratches and gouges on tubing are a source of potential leaks. Some precaution when handling the tubing can help reduce surface scratches and maintain the surface finish as originally intended by the manufacturer. ubing should never be dragged across rocks, blacktop, pavement or the tubing storage rack as scratches and gouges can occur. Sharp blades should always be used in the tube cutters or hacksaws used to cut the tubing as to provide a clean square cut. ull cutting blades can cause internal and external hanging burrs, and cause the tubing to become oval and effect proper insertion within the fitting. s a good handling practice, tubing should always be deburred prior to tube fitting installation to help assure easy and complete tube insertion. dditionally, for bent tube assemblies, it is important to bend tubing prior to installing tube fittings, and to provide a sufficient straight length of tubing after the bend to allow the tube to be fully inserted into the fitting. See igure and able 7 on page 53 for additional information. lso, to eliminate weight stress from the tubing upon the fitting and to provide additional system support for vibration and thermal shock resistance, the tubing should always be supported by tube hangers, clamps or trays. 50
