Diagram illustrating assembly with Poly Tube using Brass ‘P’ Type Brass Spigot, Knurled Compression Nut and Polythene Compression Ring
The Wade ‘P’ type joint have been designed to allow standard Wade compression coupling bodies to be adapted for use with Polythene tube.
Standard Brass Coupling Body
The ‘P’ joint incorporates a brass spigot which provides an internal tube support, a polythene compression ring and a brass compression nut with a knurled external surface.
Brass Spigot
The joint is made by hand tightening the knurled compression nut which causes the polythene compression ring to grip the poly tube to achieve a perfect seal.
Brass ‘P’ Nut
Assembly components required to make the Wade ‘P’ type joint: Polythene Ring
Assembly Instructions: when using a Polythene ‘P’ Type Compression Ring Ensure that the tube is cut square to the tube axis and is free from burrs.
Insert the brass spigot into the body of the compression fitting making sure that it is in line with the axis of the body. Slip the knurled Compression Nut onto the tube followed by the polythene Compression Ring.
Push the end of the tube over the spigot. It is important to ensure that the end of the tube is seated fully over the spigot.
Slide the Compression Nut and Ring up to the body and tighten by hand to a ‘finger-tight’ position. From the ‘finger-tight’ position, fully tighten the knurled Compression Nut by hand
