Installation Instructions

Tools Required

• Adjustable wrench or spanner (sized for rocker lugs)
• Thread sealant (if required by application)
• Clean cloth or rag

Step-by-Step Installation

• Inspect Components
  • Ensure both the adapter and mating hose or equipment threads are clean and free of debris.
  • Check for any damage to threads, gaskets, or swivel mechanisms.
• Align Threads
  • Position the rigid female rocker lug end of the adapter onto the male-threaded hose or equipment.
  • Align threads carefully to avoid cross-threading.
• Hand-Tighten
  • Begin threading by hand to ensure proper engagement.
  • Tighten until resistance is felt and the adapter is seated securely.
• Secure with Wrench
  • Use a wrench to snug the connection. Do not overtighten, as this may damage threads or gaskets.
  • For swivel end: Hold the long handle to stabilize while tightening the mating connection.
• Check Swivel Function
  • Ensure the swivel female end rotates freely when not under pressure.
  • This allows for easier hose alignment and reduces strain during use.
• Seal Check
  • If using in high-pressure or critical applications, pressurize the system and check for leaks.
  • Apply thread sealant only if required by your department’s protocol or manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Final Inspection
  • Confirm all connections are secure.
  • Verify laser-engraved markings for correct size and thread type.

 Safety Notes

• Always follow NFPA guidelines and your department’s SOPs.
• Do not use damaged adapters; replace immediately.
• Avoid using pliers or pipe wrenches that may deform the aluminum body.
