Installation

Simple and Efficient: John Guest Air Fittings are engineered for a straightforward installation process. Follow this guide for a secure fit:

  1. Preparation: Cut the pipe squarely using the suitable John Guest pipe cutter for a clean edge. Deburr the cut end to prevent O-ring damage and ensure a clean, tight seal.

  2. Connection: Insert the pipe firmly into the fitting up to the pipe stop. The distinctive collet locking design will then secure the pipe in place.

  3. Testing: After installation, pull the pipe to check the security of the connection. It’s critical to test the system under usual operating conditions to confirm its integrity.

Demounting: For maintenance or system alteration:

  1. Depressurisation: Make sure the system is entirely depressurised before beginning to demount any fittings.

  2. Release: Press the collet squarely against the fitting whilst simultaneously pulling the pipe out. The fitting can then be re-used as needed.

John Guest Air Fittings enable a tool-free installation, saving time and labour costs. Their innovative design ensures a secure and durable connection for a broad array of pneumatic applications.
