TOOLS

Safe, efficient operation of any product is inherently dependent upon its proper installation. On this page, the preparation and assembly of low, medium and high pressure connections is explained, along with several tools developed by Parker Autoclave Engineers to help accomplish proper valve, fitting and tubing installation and maintenance. The assembly procedure for medium and high pressure Cone & Thread Connections, as well as anti-vibration collet gland assemblies, is also explained.

Correct installation procedures are further promoted by providing dimensional information associated with a variety of Parker Autoclave Engineers tube connections as well as the torque required to properly seat numerous Parker Autoclave Engineers components. Video tutorials are available and a Setup & Operational USB Drive is sent with every Cone and Thread Machine.

When installing or maintaining any pressure component, common practice dictates the use of proper safety equipment at all times.

Manual Coning-and-Threading Tools:

Interchangeable collets for each size tubing provides proper centering of tubing. The cutting feed arrangement permits the operator to control the length of the cut. Interchangeable tool steel cutting blades are used in pairs to assure more accurate and faster coning. They are designed to square-off and finish the tube end as the cone is completed. There is a provision for applying metal cutting lubricants to the cutting zone.

For threading operations the threading die holder is designed to hold the appropriate die for any of the standard Parker Autoclave Engineers tubing sizes through 9/16” (14.3 mm) outside diameter. Interchangeable guide bushings properly guide the tool for accurate thread cutting.
