CPI /A-LOK Tube Fittings Introduction Torque Parker CPI /A-LOK Instrumentation Tube Fittings are designed Parker CPI /A-LOK tube Fittings do not twist the tubing dur- as leak-free connections for process, power and instrumentation ing installation. CPI /A-LOK ferrule designs assure that all applications. These single and two ferrule Fittings are manufac- make and remake motion is transmitted axially to the tubing. tured to the highest quality standards and are available in a Since no radial movement of the tubing occurs, the tubing is broad range of sizes, materials and configurations.

2 Not stressed. The mechanical integrity of the tubing is main- tained. Features The Parker CPI /A-LOK tube fitting has been specifically No Distortion designed for use on instrumentation, process and control In make-up, there is no undue force in an outward direction systems, analysers and environmental equipment employed to distort the fitting body or ferrules to cause interference in chemical, petroleum, power generating and pulp and paper between the ferrules and nut. This assures that the nut will plants. The CPI /A-LOK tube fitting has also found exten- back-off freely for disassembly and permits a greater number sive application in other fields where a high quality tube fitting of easy remakes.
