TUBING INSTALLATION
- Refer to applicable system piping diagram. After all system components
are mounted, plan layout of hydraulic tubing:
- The length of the pressure line from the control cylinder, or pressure cluster,
to the brake and to the FRB fluid reservoir/bleeder is not critical; however,
horizontal lines should preferably slope up toward the bleeder to aid movement of
air out of the hydraulic system. Avoid any tubing humps, loops or coils, which trap
pockets of air.
- The static return line from the FRB reservoir to the control cylinder or pressure
cluster should be as short and as direct as possible to aid the gravity flow of fluid.
Avoid any tubing humps, loops or coils, which could cause enough restriction to block
normal flow of fluid and starve the control cylinder or pressure cluster.

- Industrial Hydraulic Systems use 5/16" OD copper tubing. Support tubing every 3 feet
with tube bushings and tube clamps. Eliminate tubing kinks or deformities, which could
restrict fluid flow.
- Install F-86 tube nut and make 45° flare at each hose or component connection or at
tube unions. Do not permit tubing chips, dirt or other foreign matter to enter tube line.
Make fluid-tight connection at every tube nut.
