Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, ensure the 6mm pipe is cut squarely and cleanly. Push the pipe firmly into the adaptor until it is fully seated against the internal stop. The 1/4" BSP thread can then be screwed into a compatible female thread using appropriate sealing tape (e.g., PTFE tape) if required by the receiving component. Ensure the thread is tightened to a secure but not excessive level to avoid damaging the fitting or the receiving port.
Compatibility: This adaptor is designed for use with the John Guest Speedfit Pneumatic Coupling System and specifically for 6mm OD pneumatic tubing. The thread size is 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe). It is suitable for pneumatic applications only; avoid use with non-pneumatic fluids or high-pressure systems beyond its rating.
Care: The acetal copolymer and nitrile components are relatively low maintenance. To clean, disconnect the adaptor and wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic and rubber components. Ensure connections are periodically checked for security, especially in high-vibration environments.
