Re: Pressure tubes disconnecting
Our team is always solely pneumatics based. Here are the things I learned about the tubing and connections.
- The tubing will take a load of at least 100 working pressure. (Tested)
- Insert firmly with the push in piece kept outward allowing the teeth to grab better.
- Do a pull test.
- Leave slack.
- Cut the tubing straight or else the teeth wont grab right.
- Don't use push in fittings unless its at a spot of high maintenance.
One other thing:
Has anyone found that some of the tubing from FIRST and AndyMark are kind of small for the connections. We kept having problems with the clear blue tubing that was bonded together in a group of 4 or 5?
