Use the depth gauge provided or the Minimum Insertion Depth guidelines below to determine the correct insertion depth. Mark the tubing with a permanent marker to indicate proper insertion depth on every tube.
Minimum Insertion Depth
1/4, 5/16, 3/8 Fittings = 1 in / 25.4 mm
1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1-1/8 Fittings = 1-1/4 in / 31.8 mm
1-1/4, 1-3/8 Fittings = 1-1/2 in / 38.1 mm
1-5/8 Fittings = 1-3/4 in / 44.5 mm
2-1/8 Fittings = 2-1/8 in / 54.0 mm
