Installation
The VCR fittings are completely assembled and are ready to be connected. Fittings on
the PI-MTE coolant pipes are VCR size ¼” male glands with gasket retainer assemblies
containing copper gaskets. The flex tubing has female fittings on both ends and the 2 ¾”
ConFlat has male fittings on both ends.

1. Verify that the gasket retaining assembly
with copper gasket has been installed on the
male fitting. Align the male and female
fittings.
2. Finger-tighten the connection. For the next
step you will need two open-end wrenches.
3. Place one wrench on the male fitting and
hold it in place as you use the other wrench
to rotate the female fitting 90º CW. For
stainless steel or nickel gaskets, rotate
45º CW.
