* Main Seal is neoprene. NPT seals are urethane. FI NPT seals sets
contain a urethane main seal with additional neoprene face seal.
** FI NPT seal sets include a face seal.

piece by the uncoupling force of the test itself. The securing or holding

prevents ejection of the test piece from the connector.

force = area (π r
should be designed to withstand this force and include an adequate

margin for safety. Do not activate the connector without an adequate and
1.63
safe securing mechanism.
Mount the FasTest FI connector to the fixture or appropriate device using
either threaded mounting holes on the rear of the connector body, or
appropriate adapter.
E: Attaching Pressure Lines
FI(M) model connector
0.060"
1. Attach pilot pressure line to pilot port "E", Diagram 3. A pneumatic
related source is required to maximize seal life and assure
0.130"
optimum seal-ability for the application. The pilot pressure should
be minimized to maintain sealing on the test piece without
excessive compression of seal. Excess pilot pressure may
reduce the life of the seal.
0.17"
2. Attach test media line to test port "D", Diagram 3.
3. Provide a means whereby test pressure will not be introduced
until pilot pressure required to seal is reached. The means should
also provide quick exhaust of test pressure in the event pilot
pressure falls below the minimum required to seal.

WARNING: The FI connector must be SECURED to the test piece by a

Pilot Pressure. Regulate pilot pressure to the minimum required pressure
for sealing under test conditions (pressure or vacuum). Use of minimum
0.92"
required pilot pressure will prolong seal life. Generally, a 60 to 90 psi
pneumatic pilot pressure source is required.
Test Pressure. Maximum rated test pressure for standard FI models is
120 psi. With connector secured and pilot activated, introduce gas or liquid
through the FasTest FI connector until desired testing, filling or flushing is
0.92"
complete.
