60V & 70V Series Valve Connectors
DESCRIPTION: Sleeve Activated Connectors for Sealing Male
Threads and Formed Tube Ends.
CAUTION: 60V & 70V Connectors are internally valved. Disconnecting
while pressurized can cause rapid separation. Termination pressure
should be relieved prior to disconnecting connector.
Connecting while pressurized is doable but not recommended.
Example of connection forces; At 80psi with a Body Size 3 connector
the force to connect is approximately 44 lbs.
Body Size 4 connector is approximately 56 lbs. at 80psi.
Please thoroughly read the instructions prior to operating the connector. This
connector is designed to provide a safe, reliable leak-tight seal and
connection when properly maintained and operated.
•The connector is designed to mate with a specific application. Verify the
application prior to the introduction of pressure or processing. Use only in
a safe environment. Safety chains and guards are recommended for all
applications.
•Connectors are NOT designed for permanent connections and are for
temporary connections only.
DO NOT EXCEED pressure rating as marked on connector or
corresponding literature. Before using, verify that this pressure rating is
within your working pressures.

INSTALLATION:
1. Connect media hose/fitting to the termination port on connector.
a. Pipe tape and or thread sealant is recommended.
OPERATION:
1. Slide sleeve back and collets will open.
2. Insert male end of the component to be tested into collets and press
against connector. Spring action forces knurled sleeve forward, collaps-
ing collets to the gripping and sealing position.
3. Note to Operator; The Type 60/70 Connector will
connect better when you do the following. Hold exposed
area of Body at termination end of connector. Try to
keep hands free from the sleeve as you connect to your
test piece.

4. Attempting to connect while connector is still pressurized is doable but
not recommended.
NOTE: DO NOT FORCE CONNECTOR ONTO TEST PART WHEN
CONNECTING. THE COLLETS SHOULD EASILY MATE WITH TEST
PIECE. FORCING THE CONNECTOR WILL RESULT IN POOR SEALING
AND POSSIBLE LEAKAGE. DO NOT TURN OR ROTATE CONNECTOR
AFTER THE COLLETS HAVE GRIPPED TEST PART. DAMAGE TO TEST
PIECE AND THE CONNECTOR’S INTERNAL PARTS MAY RESULT.
5. When connector is properly connected the green indicator ring will be
visible.
a. Tug on the connector near the termination port to assure
proper engagement and gripping before introduction of
pressurized media.
6. Activate test media through connector termination port. Pressure will
enhance the seal.
7. To disconnect from test piece, deactivate test pressure. Slide knurled
sleeve away from test piece to expand collets. Remove connector from
test piece.
MAIN SEAL REPLACEMENT:
NOTE: IN MOST CASES THE MAIN SEAL CAN BE EXTRACTED AND
REPLACED IN THE STEPS THAT FOLLOW. IF CONNECTOR MUST BE
DIS-ASSEMBLED TO REPLACE MAIN SEAL, SEE INSTRUCTION WP143.
1. Slide sleeve back allowing collets/jaws to open. This will help expose
the end of the piston to extract the main seal.
2. Using a pick like tool or small flat blade screwdriver, remove the main
seal from piston and discard.
3. Use caution not to scratch the main seal groove surfaces in piston.
4. Install new main seal using your fingers or a non-marring tool. DO
NOT LUBRICATE NEW SEAL!
5. Make sure main seal is properly seated.

MAINTENANCE:
Periodically inspect connector and seal for proper operation. Repair or
replace parts as required to assure positive sealing and performance.
Establish a regular interval for lubrication. The media and environment
will be determining factors in establishing this interval to prevent dryness
and/or corrosion.
Difficulty of operation after continual use indicates need for lubrication or
other maintenance. Repair parts, instructions and tools are available.
Please contact your FasTest Distributor or the factory for assistance.
Safety Warnings – Guidelines:
•If instructions are not completely understood by operator or components are
missing, contact FasTest before attempting use of the connector.
•Application Safety: All FasTest products have been designed with safety in mind;
however, it is the responsibility of the user to design each process in such a way to
avoid mishaps that can cause physical hazard or property loss. Secondary
restraints such as safety chains, shields, cages, or fixtures are all good choices
depending on the application. FasTest can recommend or assist you in clarifying
potential hazards of your application.
•FasTest 60/70 Series Valve connectors are internally valved to prevent loss of
media when disconnected. FasTest recommends that any connection or
disconnection be made only when pressure is reduced to ambient.
•FasTest 60/70 Series Valve connectors must only be used with test pieces of a
specific size as indicated by the part number. Improper use may separate the
connector from the test piece resulting in physical harm or damage.
