What should be noted when installing a single card sleeve connector

When installing a single card sleeve connector, attention should be paid to the following aspects:

Preparation before installation

Check the integrity of the parts: Carefully inspect each component of the single card sleeve joint, including the card sleeve, nut, joint body, etc., to ensure that there are no defects such as cracks, deformations, burrs, etc. The surface of the parts should be smooth and free of defects that affect sealing and assembly.

Confirm specification matching: According to the connection requirements of the pipeline or equipment, select a suitable specification and material for the single card sleeve joint, ensuring that it matches the size, pressure rating, and other parameters of the connecting components.

Cleaning treatment: Use a clean cloth or specialized cleaning agent to remove oil stains, dust, rust, and other impurities from the joints and pipeline connections, preventing these pollutants from entering the system and affecting sealing performance and fluid transport.

Installation process operation

Pipeline cutting and processing cutting quality: Suitable cutting tools such as saws, pipe cutters, etc. are used to cut the pipeline to the required length. The cutting surface should be perpendicular to the pipeline axis, with a deviation not exceeding the specified range, to ensure good sealing of the joint after installation.

Pipe mouth treatment: deburr and chamfer the cut pipe mouth, remove burrs and sharp edges inside and outside the pipe mouth, prevent scratching the sleeve and affecting installation, and chamfer the pipe mouth appropriately to facilitate the assembly of the sleeve and pipeline.

Proper placement of card sleeve installation: Place the card sleeve on the pipeline, pay attention to the direction of the card sleeve, ensure that the cutting edge of the card sleeve faces the inside of the joint body, and then insert the pipeline into the joint body to the specified depth.

Avoid damage: During the installation of the card sleeve, be careful to avoid collision or scratching with other objects, so as not to damage the cutting edge and surface of the card sleeve and affect the sealing performance.

Nut tightening force control: Use a suitable wrench to tighten the nut, and the tightening torque should be based on the specifications and materials of the joint according to relevant standards or manufacturer requirements, to avoid excessive force that may cause excessive deformation of the sleeve or damage to the nut. Also, do not apply too little force to avoid poor sealing.

Step by step tightening: Generally, the method of step by step tightening is used. First, tighten the nut preliminarily, and then gradually increase the torque until the specified tightening torque is reached. This can evenly compress the sleeve between the pipeline and the joint body, ensuring the sealing effect.
