General Instructions
Scope
This safety guide provides instructions for selecting and using (including assembling, installing, and maintaining)
these products. For convenience, the assembly tool including the hydraulic cylinder is called the “tool”. The assembly
made with hose and crimped on connectors is called the “Hose Assembly”. All products commonly called “fittings”
or “couplings” are called “connectors”. All jaw inserts are called “inserts”. All related accessories are called “Related
Accessories”. The complete assembly tool including but not limited to connectors and hose assembly is called the
“tool assembly”. The system used to generate the hydraulic power for the tool assembly is called “the pump”.
Fail-Safe
Hose Assemblies and related connectors can and do fail without warning for many reasons. Design all systems and
equipment in a fail-safe mode, so that failure of the Hose Assembly or Connector will not endanger persons or property.
Parker provides a hose guard to protect the operator against hose burst. The hose connections are connected to the
tool and pump with the use of a protective sleeve to avoid hose fitting disconnection. Detailed information is given in
the Tool Assembly Section of this document.
Distribution
Provide a copy of this safety guide to each person that is responsible for selecting or using any aspect of the tool
assembly. Do not select or use the tool assembly without thoroughly reading and understanding this installation
manual.
User Responsibility
Due to the wide variety of operating conditions and applications for the tool assembly, this safety guide does not
analyze all technical parametres that must be considered when using the tool assembly. The user, through their own
analysis and testing, is solely responsible for:
• Assuring the requirements are met and the application presents no health or safety hazards.
• Ensuring all appropriate health and safety warnings on the equipment are legible and not damaged / removed.

Safety and General Maintenance
Important Receiving Instructions
Visually inspect all components for shipping damage. Shipping damage is not covered by warranty. If shipping damage
is found, notify the carrier at once. The carrier is responsible for all repair and replacement costs resulting from damage
during shipment.
Safety
Prior to use, read all instructions, warnings and cautions carefully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid personal injury
or property damage during system operation. Parker cannot be held responsible for damage or injury resulting from
unsafe product use, lack of maintenance or incorrect product and/or system operation.
Contact Parker when in doubt as to the safety precautions and operations. If you have never been trained on high-
pressure hydraulic safety, consult your distribution or service centre for a hydraulic safety course.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage and personal injury.
A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance procedures and practices to prevent damage to, or
destruction of equipment or other property.
A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even death.
Pressure
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never attempt to assemble a product with an assembly load higher
than the capacity of the tool assembly. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury. The tool
assemblies are designed for a maximum pressure of 10,000 psi (700 bar). Do not connect a tool to a pump with a
higher pressure rating.
WARNING: Whenever using hydraulic equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection, hard
hat, gloves, and steel toe boots, should be utilized.
DANGER: Never set the pump/system relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the tool.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Do not remove the relief valve.
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component in
the system. Install pressure gauges in the system to monitor operating pressure. Recalibrate these pressure gauges
as per supplier recommendations. Surge pressures or peak transient pressures in the system must be below the
published maximum working pressure. Surge pressures and peak pressures can usually only be determined by
sensitive electrical instrumentation that measures and indicates pressures at millisecond intervals. Mechanical pressure
gauges indicate only average pressures and cannot be used to determine surge pressures or peak transient pressures.
Published burst pressure ratings for hose assemblies is for manufacturing test purposes only and is no indication that
the hose assemblies can be used in applications at the burst pressure or otherwise above the published maximum
recommended working pressure.
DANGER: DO NOT HANDLE PRESSURISED HOSES. Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing
serious injury. If oil is injected under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
Temperature
CAUTION: KEEP HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT AWAY FROM FLAMES AND HEAT. Excessive heat will soften packings
and seals, resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials and packings. Be certain that fluid and ambient
temperatures, both steady and transient, do not exceed 60°C [140°F], or fall below -20°C [-4°F]. Temperatures below
and above the recommended limit can degrade hose and seals to a point where a failure may occur and release fluid.

109
Safety and General MaintenanceSafety and General Maintenance
CAUTION: PROPERLY INSULATE AND PROTECT THE HOSE ASSEMBLY WHEN ROUTING NEAR HOT OBJECTS
(e.g. manifolds). Hose assemblies and seals can be heated to destruction without contact by such nearby items as
hot manifolds or molten metal. The same heat source may then initiate a fire. This can occur despite the presence of
cool air around the tool assembly.
CAUTION: PROTECT TOOL ASSEMBLIES FROM WELD SPATTER. When using a torch or arc welder in close proximity
to tool assemblies, the tool assemblies should be removed or shielded with appropriate fire resistant materials. Flame
or weld spatter could burn through the hose and possibly ignite escaping fluid resulting in a catastrophic failure.
Heating of plated parts, including hose fittings and adapters, above 450°F (232°C) such as during welding, brazing, or
soldering may emit deadly gases.
Do not use any Hose in applications where failure of the hose could result in the conveyed fluids (or vapors or mist
from the conveyed fluids) contacting any open flame, molten metal, or other potential fire ignition source that could
cause burning or explosion of the conveyed fluids or vapors.
Hydraulic Fluid
Tool assemblies are supplied pre-filled with hydraulic oil; attached pumps must be used with compatible hydraulic oil.
Use only genuine Enerpac hydraulic oil. The use of any other fluid will render your warranty null and void. The Safety
Data Sheet of the hydraulic fluid used to pre-fill the tool assemblies is available upon request.
Premium hydraulic oil
• Ensures effective lubricity
• Protects essential parts
• Prevents pump cavitation
• Maximum internal heat transfer
• Additives prevent rust, oxidation and sludge.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
Mechanical Loads / Hose Routing
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a bent
or kinked hose will cause severe back-pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose leading to
premature hose failure. Attention must be given to optimum routing of the hose assembly to minimise inherent problems
(kinking or flow restriction due to hose collapse, twisting of the hose, proximity to hot objects or heat sources).
CAUTION: External forces can significantly reduce tool and hose life or cause failure. Mechanical loads which must
be considered include excessive flexing, twisting, kinking, tensile or side loads, bend radius, and vibration. Do not
drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying pressure to
a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift tool assemblies by the hoses or couplers. Use the hand grip or other means of safe transport.
Physical Damage
WARNING: Immediately replace worn or damaged parts with genuine Parker parts. Phastite®assembly equipment is
manufactured from extreme service materials. Standard grade parts will break causing personal injury and/or property
damage. Parker Phastite®parts are designed to fit properly and withstand high pressure loads.
IMPORTANT: Phastite®assembly equipment must be serviced by a qualified Parker technician. For repair and/or
service, contact the Authorised Parker Service Centre in your area, or by calling 1-800-CPARKER. Care must be taken
to protect the tool assembly from wear, snagging, kinking, bending smaller than the minimum bend radius, and cutting,
any of which can cause premature hose failure.
WARNING
Indicates a potential danger that requires correct
procedures or practices to avoid possible serious
personal injury or death. CAUTION
Is used to indicate correct operating or
maintenance procedures and practices to prevent
minor or moderate injury or damage to /destruction
of equipment or other property.
Immediately replace worn or damaged parts with genuine
Parker parts. Non genuine Parker parts may break,
causing personal injury and property damage. Parker
parts are designed to fit properly and withstand high
loads.
Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends
and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a bent
or kinked hose will cause severe back-pressure. Sharp
bends and kinks will internally damage the hose, leading
to premature hose failure.
Only use hydraulic equipment in a coupled system. Never
use a cylinder with unconnected couplers. If the cylinder
becomes extremely overloaded, components can fail
catastrophically, causing severe personal injury.
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may
cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying
pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
The system operating pressure must not exceed the
pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the
system. Always use the pressure gauge in the system to
monitor operating pressure. It is your window to see what
is happening in the system.
Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel
couplers.
Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes
equipment failure and possible personal injury. The
system is designed for a maximum pressure of 10,000 psi
(700 bar). Do not connect a pump with a higher pressure
rating.
Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat.
Excessive heat will soften packings and seals, resulting
in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials and
packings. For optimum performance do not expose
equipment to temperatures of 65 °C [150 °F] or higher.
Protect all hydraulic equipment from weld spatter.
Wear proper personal protective gear when operating
hydraulic equipment.
Phastite®assembly tooling equipment must only be
serviced by a Parker technician. For repair service,
contact the Authorised Parker Service Centre in your
area. To protect your warranty, use only ENERPAC oil.
Entrapment risk, Keep all hands and any loose hair or
clothing away from the tools when in operation.
Where supplied read and understand the safety and
operation instructions provided separately with the
ENERPAC pump and MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL
battery and charger.

General selection criteria
Phastite®tube connectors have been designed to work in a wide variety of applications that demand the utmost in
product performance. Although Phastite®connectors have been engineered and manufactured to consistently provide
this level of reliability, no system integrity is complete without considering the critical link, tubing.
The Phastite®connector is designed to work with commercial tubing with standard wall thicknesses and is offered in 4
different materials:
•316 Stainless Steel
•INCONEL®Alloy 625
•INCOLOY®Alloy 825
•Super Duplex
This guide is intended to assist the designer to properly select and order the correct tubing. Proper tube selection and
installation are key ingredients in building leak-free reliable tubing systems. The most important consideration in the
selection of suitable tubing for any application is the compatibility of the tubing material with the media to be contained.
In addition, tubing compatibility with the connector is mandatory, as dissimilar materials in contact may be susceptible
to galvanic corrosion. The differential in material hardness may also affect their ability to correctly hold onto and seal the
tubing.
Pressure ratings for combinations of tube and connector
The pressure rating of a Phastite®connection assembly is that of the tube with the highest-pressure rating to which it
can be attached and is presented in Tables 1 to 4. The pressure rating of the tube has been calculated in accordance
with ASME B31.3, Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping Standard, assuming maximum diametre, minimum wall
thickness and minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS).
In the case of an all tube-ended connector, such as a union tee, the properly selected tubing is the limiting factor in
the system. A termination connector may, however, combine a Phastite®connector end with another end of different
form, such as male or female pipe thread. Pressure ratings for other ends are determined in accordance with applicable
standards and may, in fact, be lower than the rating for the Phastite®tube connector end.
Pressure rating and wall thickness of tubes
Tables 1 to 4 presents the pressure ratings for type 316 Stainless Steel, INCONEL®Alloy 625, INCOLOY®Alloy 825 and
Super Duplex seamless tubes for temperatures up to 93°C (200°F). These tables also show the minimum and maximum
wall thickness of tubes that shall be used within the scope of the Parker Phastite®design for each size of tube connector.
If a user chooses a tube wall thickness outside those recommended in these tables, the user should first consult the
technical department of Parker Instrumentation Products Division.
Derivation of pressure ratings
The working pressure ratings for tubing shall be derived
from stress values and methodologies listed in ASME
B31.3.

Table 5 - Factors used to determine tubing pressure
rating at elevated temperatures.
Table 6
Tubing ordering guidelines
Tubing for use with Parker instrument fittings must be carefully ordered to insure adequate quality for good
performance. Each purchase order must specify the material, nominal outside diametre, and wall thickness. Ordering
to ASTM specifications insures that the tubing will be dimensionally, physically, and chemically within strict limits. Also,
more stringent requirements may be added by the user. All tubing should be ordered free of scratches and suitable for
bending. A purchase order meeting the above criteria would read as follows: “1/2 x .049 316 stainless steel, seamless,
or welded and redrawn per ASTM A-249. Fully annealed, 80 Rb or less. Must be suitable for bending; surface
scratches, and imperfections (incomplete weld seams) are not permissible.” Table 6 lists specific ordering information
for each material.
Pressure rating at elevated temperatures
To determine allowable pressure at elevated temperatures,
multiply the allowable working pressure from Table 1 to 4
by the factor shown in Table 5.
Example: 1/2” x .065” wall 316 stainless steel tubing has
a working pressure of 5,100 psi @ room temperature. If
the system were to operate at 800°F, a factor of 80% or
0.80 would apply (see Table 5) and the “at temperature”
system pressure would therefore be 5,100 x 0.80 =
4,080 psi.
These factors are based on ASME B31.3 derating factors
for ASTM A269 tubing. They are derived from table A-1,
basic allowable stresses in metals.
Note on selection
The pressure rating information presented, is intended as a useful guide to demonstrate the performance potential of
the Phastite®connector when properly installed according to Parker’s recommended practices and to assist the user in
the proper selection of tube and fitting for a particular application. Every effort has been made to ensure the information
in this document has been clearly presented. It is the responsibility of the user and the system designer to ensure the
appropriate selection and specification of tube and fitting and that the specified assembly meets the requirement of the
system or application.

Phastite®Assembly
i) All tube pre-fabrication (cutting, bending and alignment) should be completed before Phastite®is fully assembled
(Failure to do so may result in the Phastite®fitting being exposed to undesirable side loading).
ii) Ensure that all other fittings in the tube-run are correctly assembled before Phastite®is fully assembled.
iii) Free lengths of tube should be supported throughout Phastite®tube-run assembly procedure.
iv) Care should be taken to minimise any additional stresses to Phastite®joints.
Figure 1
Handling Tubing
From the receiving dock to point of installation, special attention is necessary to prevent scratching and burring the
O.D. of the tubing. This is especially important for gas service. Low-density gases such as helium and argon cannot
be sealed with damaged tubing.
Make certain not to drag tubing across any surfaces such as truck beds, shelves, or storage racks, the floor and (or)
ground of any plant/ construction site. This is important for tubing of all materials, particularly for copper and aluminium.
Besides scratching, improper handling can create out-of-round tubing. Out-of-round tubing will not fit the I.D. of the
ferrule(s) or the body bore properly and will cause leakage (Figure 1).
Tube end preparation is essential in assuring leak-free
systems. Some important points to consider are:
•Tube handling
•Tube cutting with either a tube cutter or hacksaw
•Deburring the tube end
•Cleaning the tube end
Figure 2
Cutting the Tube End
To ensure a good joint, tube must be cut off square. This
can be accomplished with either a tube cutter or hacksaw.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 - Enlarged section of tube showing
differences in tubing cut with a tube cutter (a) and a
hacksaw (b).
Figure 3

16
Tubing Cutters (Figure 4) are more commonly utilized on
softer tubing such as copper, aluminium or even “soft” steel
tubing. If a tube cutter is utilized with stainless steel tubing,
remember that a special cutting wheel, designed for use with
stainless steel tubing should be employed. The use of dull
or improper cutting wheels can work harden the S.S. tubing
near the cut area. This CAN adversely affect the fittings
sealing ability.
Figure 5
Part Number: PT-C
Cutting with a Hacksaw requires careful attention. It
is essential to use a guide to assure square cut offs. We
recommend our sawing vice (see Figure 5). Further, to
minimize the residual burrs, a hacksaw blade of 32 teeth per
inch minimum is suggested.
Sawing Vice Part Number: PT-V
Figure 6
Deburring the Tube End
The burrs formed by either the tube cutter or hacksaw must
be removed prior to assembly to prevent those burrs from
eventually damaging the system. O.D. burrs can prevent
tubing from seating properly in a fitting body. I.D. burrs can
restrict flow, as well as possibly break loose and damage fine
filtration elements.
Note: Do not over deburr the O.D. of tubing.
You may deburr the tubing with your choice of file(s) or utilize
Parker’s IN-EX De-burring tool. (Figure 6) This tool can be
used to deburr both the I.D. and O.D. of tubing sizes 1/8”
thru 1-1/2”.
IN-EX De-burring Tool Part Number: PT-D
Cleaning the Tube End
After you deburr the tubing, it is essential to remove burrs
from the tubing line. This can be accomplished by:
1. Flushing with solvent or low pressure compressed air.
2. Swab with lint-free cloth.
Again, this should prevent entrapping one of these small
burrs down-stream where it might do some system
damage.

Minimum Tubing Lengths
Note: Figure 7 illustrates the minimum straight length of
tubing needed ahead of any bend to fit into the presetting

Tubemarkers
The tubemarker (Figure 8) is a mandatory part of the process to properly assemble Phastite®. It ensures adequate
tube insertion and aids with inspecting for correct assembly. Proper tube insertion is essential.
To achieve proper tube insertion, a range of Phastite®tubemarkers are available. The Phastite®tubemarkers create
two visible lines along the outside diametre of the tube. While rotating the tubemarker around the tube. enough
pressure should be applied to create two visible lines. The lines are easily visible once the tube has been removed
from the tubemarker. The tubemarker selected is dependent on the tubing O.D. and not the material.

Pumps and Tools are matched at the factory and MUST NOT be intermixed with other pumps or tools.
The pumps count the amount of cycles and display critical end of life information.
Phastite’s unique design provides a secure leak tight grip on the tubing. The connector make-up can be completed
using the compact Phastool®. The hydraulically actuated tools can be operated electrically or manually. The tool
can either be used in the hand or in a vice.
Prior to placing the inserts into the Phastool®, the following should be completed:
1. Mark the tubing.
2. Select the correct Phastite®connector.
3. Select the correct Phastool®.
4. Select the correct inserts.
5. Select the pump type.
6. Verify tube marking.

Phastool®3A and 3B Maintenance
Phastite®tools require Essential maintenance, the pumps
count the amount of cycles of the matched tool giving
times for scheduled servicing. Refer to pages 23 and 32.
NOTE: Caution should be taken. The Phastool®is a high
pressure hydraulic system.
1. Inspect the hoses and connections regularly for
damage. The hose connections are connected to the
tool and pump. Replace if needed.
2. The hose is provided with cable socks. This helps to
avoid hose fitting disconnection.
3. Service intervals for Phastool®are set at 5,000,
10,000, 20,000 and 30,000 cycles.
