When it comes to ensuring the security and reliability of your tubing connections, BarbLock® Ultra-Secure Retainers are a top choice. In contrast to standard Cable Tie solutions, the BarbLock are the only system with a full 360° radial crimp behind the barb and 360° of compression directly over the barb’s ridge. These retainers are designed for easy installation and provide a strong, leak-free hold for various applications. Follow this simple guide to make sure you are using your BarbLock® retainers correctly.
Step 1: Place BarbLock Sleeve and Collet onto Tubing
Begin by loading the sleeve and collet onto the tube, ensuring that the ends marked “Top” are located at the top.
Step 2: Insert the Barbed Fitting
Next, insert the barbed fitting into the tube, leaving a small space of approximately 1/16” between the tube and the tube stop. This space corresponds to the last rib of the fitting.
Step 3: Position the Collet
Move the collet to the base of the tube, leaving the same space of about 1/16” between the collet and the tube stop. This ensures that the collet is correctly placed and ready for the next steps.
Step 4: Lower the Sleeve
Lower the sleeve over the collet, this ensures it is in place and ready for the final locking step.
Step 5: Lock the BarbLock Assembly
Using a BarbLock® tool, lock the assembly. The jaws of the tool should fit snugly between the collet and the tube stop, and behind the sleeve. This locking action secures the components together, ensuring a tight and reliable connection.
Step 6: Verify the Lock
When the assembly is properly locked, the tubing should not be able to be pulled out. You will notice that the space between the BarbLock® and the tube stop remains, allowing for some expansion of the tubing, but it should not appear swollen. This final check ensures that the connection is secure and ready for use.
