Notes[edit | edit source]

KEEP AS STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE FOR EASIEST TIME
Use model to layout assembly before hand
Will need different lengths of small tubes and swegg tees, elbows, and crosses
Plan which pieces are going to be attached first for easiest assembly using vice
Use copper jaws or weaker vice grip to not mark plumbing
Hold plumbing on swegg and part number sides, dont attach vice on the nuts
Grab tee holders and swegg wrench (9/16 wrench--> 1/4 & 7/8 wrench--> 1/2)
Assure that nut is finger tight and pipe is touching bottom of fitting
Make a small sharpie mark
Tightening:
- regular swegg 1 & 1/4 turns
- Adapters 1/4 turn
- plug caps 1/4 turn
- Keep a circular force when tightening
- If orientation of piping is wrong--> can undo connecting nuts and re-tighten
- When a fitting needs to be re-tightened, tighten until tight, no more 1 1/4 turns
Start with GM and IM, then process and finish with vacuum section
The ferrells in nuts must be assembled--> writing on nut touching table, small ring with flat side in first, then cone on top like volcano
Hold pieces in orientation when first tightening
Have all swegg logos facing same direction
