Cone Ferrule 40° metal cone 1/16” 2 Stainless Steel 316 Vici Valco ZF1S6-10
Cone Nut #10-32-1/2” Nut 2 Stainless Steel 316 Vici Valco MZN1-10
Metal Tubing 1/16” OD, .022” ID 2 Stainless Steel 316 McMaster Carr 89785K911
Metal Tubing 1/6” OD, .006” ID 2 Stainless Steel 316 McMaster Carr 89785K912
When connecting the measured fluid to the sensor, the following connection parts are necessary:
*Note: If flow through the .006” ID Tubing is difficult, use the .022” ID tubing instead.

When installing the cone fittings, ensure that the metal tubing is cut flush and there are no burs or
blockages in the internal diameter. Place the nut behind the cone port and slide the 1/16” tubing
through both. Insert two tubing/cone/nut assemblies into the corresponding tapped holes of the
micro-cap. Gently push the tubing to ensure that it has bottomed-out at the seat in the microcap.
Hand tighten the screw until the cone ferrule bottoms out in the seat of the micro-cap. Tighten the
nut with a ¼” wrench one-quarter turn to seal. Refer to the diagram below:

1.3 MICROCAP ATTACHMENT
When removing or attaching the microcap to the pressure sensor, follow the procedures below:
Removal
1. Use a 1” hex wrench on the microcap and a 5/8” hex wrench on the diaphragm.
2. Turn the 5/8” wrench counter-clockwise to loosen.
3. Once the threads are disengaged, hand turn the diaphragm hex while gently pulling the
diaphragm away from the micro-cap for the O-rings to pass the threads.
4. Take care to ensure the you do not touch the membrane as it is fragile.
5. If cleaning is necessary, use Isopropanol or other solvent to rinse the membrane without
contacting it. *Note: if using acetone, note that the 016 O-ring is not compatible with acetone
and will be damaged.
6. Check all O-rings for damage and replace if necessary.

Attachment
1. Check all O-rings for damage and replace if necessary.
2. Take care to ensure the you do not touch the membrane as it is fragile.
3. Engage the threads by hand using the diaphragm hex while gently pushing the diaphragm
towards micro-cap for the O-rings to pass the threads.
4. Use a 1” hex wrench on the microcap and a 5/8” hex wrench on the diaphragm.
5. Turn the 5/8” wrench clockwise until face seal O-ring compression occurs. If there is no O-ring,
tighten until the metal ring contacts the seat of the Micro-cap, then loosen off by less than 30°
wrench angle.
