What Are push lock fittings?
Push lock fittings, also known as push-to-connect fittings, are designed for quick and easy connections in fluid or air systems. Their primary function is to eliminate the need for traditional tools like wrenches, streamlining the installation process. These fittings employ an internal mechanism that uses barbs or teeth to grip the hose or tubing when it’s pushed in, creating a secure and reliable connection.
The internal design of a push lock fitting typically includes an O-ring or other sealing element that prevents leaks. This combination of a gripping mechanism and a sealing component ensures a tight and leak-free connection, even under pressure. Their ease of use and reliability make them popular in various applications, from automotive and industrial systems to home DIY projects.
how to measure push lock fittings?
Accurate measurement of push lock fittings is crucial for ensuring compatibility and proper function within your system. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to measure these fittings effectively, preventing leaks and ensuring a secure connection.
Step 1: Identify the Fitting Type and Size
Begin by identifying the type of push lock fitting you are measuring. Common types include straight connectors, elbows, tees, and banjo fittings. Understanding the fitting type is essential for accurate measurement.
Next, determine the nominal size of the fitting, which is typically indicated by the hose or tubing it’s designed to accommodate. This size is often expressed in inches or millimeters and can usually be found in the fitting’s specifications or markings. Knowing the fitting type and nominal size provides a foundation for precise measurements.
Accurately measuring the fitting’s dimensions involves noting the outside diameter (OD) of the hose or tubing it connects to. This measurement is critical for ensuring compatibility and a proper seal. Use a caliper or ruler to measure the OD, ensuring accuracy by taking multiple measurements at different points along the hose or tube. Also, measure the thread size, if applicable, using a thread gauge or by comparing it to known thread sizes. For threaded fittings, the thread pitch and diameter are crucial for matching the fitting to the intended connection point.
Step 2: Measure Key Dimensions
Once the fitting type and size are identified, measure the overall length and body diameter of the fitting. Use a caliper or ruler to obtain precise measurements, ensuring accuracy by taking multiple readings. The overall length is measured from end to end, while the body diameter is measured at the widest point of the fitting.
These measurements are crucial for ensuring the fitting fits within the available space and connects correctly to other components.
For angled fittings, such as elbows or tees, measure the angle of the bend or branch. Use a protractor or angle gauge to determine the angle, ensuring accuracy by aligning the tool with the fitting’s centerlines.
Additionally, measure the insertion depth, which is the distance the hose or tubing needs to be inserted into the fitting for a secure connection. This measurement is crucial for ensuring a proper seal and preventing leaks. Carefully noting all dimensions ensures the fitting will function as intended within your system.

how to install push lock fittings?
Push-lock fittings offer a quick and reliable way to connect pipes and tubing without the need for soldering, threading, or special tools.
This guide provides a step-by-step process for successful push lock fitting installation, ensuring leak-free connections. Whether you’re working on plumbing, air lines, or other fluid transfer systems, understanding the proper technique is crucial.
Step 1: Prepare the Pipe or Tubing
Cut the Pipe Squarely:
Begin by ensuring the pipe or tubing is cut perfectly square. A clean, straight cut is essential for the fitting to seal correctly. Use a pipe cutter for rigid pipes or a sharp utility knife or tubing cutter for flexible tubing. Avoid using a hacksaw, as it can leave burrs and an uneven surface.
A square cut guarantees that the pipe will insert fully and evenly into the fitting. Any angle or unevenness can compromise the seal, leading to leaks. Imagine trying to fit a round peg into a slightly oval hole; the fit will be imperfect. The same principle applies here. Precise cutting eliminates gaps and ensures the internal O-rings of the push-lock fitting make complete contact with the pipe surface.
Deburr and Clean the Pipe:
After cutting, thoroughly deburr the inside and outside edges of the pipe. Use a deburring tool or fine sandpaper to remove any sharp edges or burrs. Clean the pipe’s surface with a clean cloth, ensuring it’s free from dirt, debris, or any foreign particles.
Deburring is critical because sharp edges can damage the internal O-rings of the push-lock fitting during insertion. These O-rings are responsible for creating the watertight or airtight seal. Contaminants like dirt or metal shavings can also interfere with the seal, potentially causing leaks or reducing the fitting’s lifespan. By cleaning the pipe, you ensure a smooth, unobstructed connection, maximizing the fitting’s performance and longevity.
Step 2: Mark the Insertion Depth
Measure and Mark:
Determine the correct insertion depth for your specific push-lock fitting. This information is usually provided by the manufacturer or marked on the fitting itself. Use a measuring tape or ruler to accurately measure the required depth from the end of the pipe. Then, use a marker or pencil to clearly mark this depth on the pipe’s surface.
The insertion depth mark serves as a visual guide, ensuring that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Without this mark, you risk under-insertion, which can lead to leaks, or over-insertion, which may damage the fitting or the pipe. Knowing the exact depth guarantees that the pipe reaches the internal stop within the fitting, allowing the locking mechanism and O-rings to function correctly. This step is a simple yet crucial preventative measure against connection failures.
Step 3: Insert the Pipe into the Fitting
Push Firmly and Straight:
With the pipe prepared and marked, firmly push the pipe straight into the push-lock fitting until it reaches the marked insertion depth. You should feel a slight resistance as the pipe passes the internal O-rings and locking mechanism. Ensure the pipe is inserted in a straight, axial direction to prevent any damage to the fitting or the pipe.
Applying consistent and even pressure is vital during insertion. Avoid twisting or angling the pipe, as this can damage the O-rings or cause the locking mechanism to malfunction. The internal grip ring of the push-lock fitting is designed to hold the pipe securely once it’s fully inserted. You’ll often hear or feel a “click” when the pipe is properly locked in place, indicating a secure connection. This ensures that the fitting can withstand pressure and vibration without leaking or disconnecting.
Step 4: Test the Connection
Pull Test and Pressure Check:
After insertion, perform a pull test to ensure the pipe is securely locked in place. Gently pull on the pipe to check for any movement. If the pipe moves, re-insert it firmly. For pressure applications, test the connection under the maximum operating pressure of the system to check for leaks.
A pull test verifies the mechanical integrity of the connection. If the pipe remains firmly in place, it indicates that the locking mechanism is engaged correctly. For pressure testing, gradually increase the pressure to the system’s maximum operating level and observe the connection for any signs of leaks, such as dripping or hissing. Using a soap solution can help identify small leaks by forming bubbles at the connection point. Thorough testing ensures that the push-lock fitting will perform reliably under real-world conditions.
