DMC Permaswage®fittings are available in virtually any configuration required. Fittings have also been madein a. variety of fitting materials, pressure ratingsand sizes up to 1-1/2".
Theinstallationtechnigueis simple: Fittings are positioned on an applied mark located on the tubing. Compression tools, like the DLT series, are assembled around the fitting and the toolpressureis actuated.
The result is a mechanical swaging of the materials, joining the two elements.
A simple visual verificationand completes the installation.
DMC introducted the DLT series installation tooling in the mid 1980s because aircraft compartments and spaces were becoming smallerand toolingaccess was very important.

As a result, the DLT series tooling reduced size and weight by as much as 72% over the previous tooling series (called the D12000 series).
Other features incorporated into the DLT series tools help improve tube fabrication production by50% and dramatically reduces tool maintenance requirements.
