Che ape r to Inst all In addition to manufacturing costs savings, automatic installation fittings can save on installation costs. It takes less time to simply pound a part into a hole, as opposed to turning a part. The recommended process of installation for thread forming fittings is to spin in. Drive type fittings simply need to be driven in using a drive tool and hammer. Install drive type fittings with dri ve tools found on page 37.
PRE-TES TING Before a new installation, test drill hole in sample material. Fitting is to fit firmly without causing damage or conversely, being too loose. Desired hole sizes will vary with material. Please take into consideration production tolerances.
Simple one step process.
Tapping requires a second operation, increasing time and costs.
THREAD FORMING FITTINGS
DRIVE TYPE FITTINGS
Thread forming grease fitting can be installed with an air ratchet.
Drive type grease fittings are installed using a drive tool and a hammer.
UNDERSIZED HOLE
OVERSIZED HOLE
Brittle material may be damaged if fitting is installed into an undersized hole.
A fitting installed in an oversized hole will not create a tight seal.
The drill sizes provided in this catalog are approximations only. The exact drill size may vary with your application and material. SAE and Huyett recommend testing prior to the introduction of these fittings into any application. Drive type fittings are not recommended for high-pressure applications.
