Snap on the Cage
5. Snap the cage into the groove on the nipple. The arms should extend
over the hose length. When the cage has been carefully installed in the
cage grove, the cage will be able to rotate in the grove. This step must
be performed to ensure:
• The clips will be located over the O-ring on the nipple.
• The connection will be compatible with the connection's pressure
rating.

Slide the Clips
6. Slide the clips over the cage arms and into the channels on each arm.
Close the Clips
7. Use the fitting tool (204-1045 or 204-1128) to close the clips. The
pliers should be positioned squarely on the clip connection points and
should remain square during the closing of the clip.
NOTE: For easiest assembly, the clasp should be closed between the cage
arms.
