OPERATION
To cut the tubes, start the air motor making sure it is on fully. Bring cutter handle to the rear position,
which retracts tool bit. Insert spindle (#1) into tube until depth stop (#19) is firmly against tube sheet. Move
cutter handle (#24) forward slowly until tube is cut through. (It will be up to the operator to get the feel of the
cutting tool so he will know how fast to force the handle when cutting various gauge tubes.) Continuous running
of the air motor will enable the operator to have better control and more rapid operation of the machine.
Extension Adaptors are a have a reach of 6” (152mm). Longer adapters can be made
to order in 3.5” increments, please call us with the size requirements and material
being cut. We will advise if it is feasible.
Pin # 37 is a straight piece of O1 drill rod. Cut to length then peened over and polish
to size. Use a pin punch to drive out the pin from a broken spindle and keep
unbroken leg parts for future use.
Series “A” Adapter’s assembly.
Place .125 inch pin thru spindle and leg. Insert shim in between leg and spindle close
Place shim between leg and spindle on each Peen pin to fill hole champher

BENEITS:
1. Plug and socket connect and disconnect at 0 psig.
2. Plug is securely locked in place before air is turned on.
3. Socket sleeve will not slide forward without a plug installed.
4. Downstream line is exhausted before plug is released.
OPERATION:
1. To Connect - Simply insert the plug and slide the coupler's sleeve forward to lock and
pressurize.
2. To Disconnect - First, rotate sleeve counter clockwise to exhaust pressure. Allow
enough time for air to exhaust. Second, rotate sleeve clockwise while sliding toward
socket end to unlock and release the plug.
MAINTENANCE:
* SV couplers are precision
mechanical devices that are
subject to normal wear and tear.
* In order to extend the coupler's
useful life, they should be used
with compressed air that is free of dirt and water contamination. They require lubrication. If
an in-line lubricator is not in use, they should be lubricated periodically with 10W air tool oil.
SYMPTOMS OF WEAR:
* When any of these symptoms exist, discontinue use of the coupler and contact
maintenance for replacement:
Compressed air is leaking from the coupler.
While operating the sleeve, the action should feel smooth. If sloppiness is felt, there is
excessive wear.
If the sleeve feels sticky, gritty or binds up during operation, there is excessive wear or
contamination.
