Parallel thread
assembly instructions
The installation of the “M”-thread of the ABC™ Push-In couplings, ABC™ swivels, and ABC Complementary shall be directly tightened into the ports according: ISO 4039-1, ISO 4039-2, ISO 6149, ISO 9974-1, DIN 3852, Voss without any further preparation.
The installation of the “G”-threads ABC™ Push-In couplings, ABC™ swivels, and ABC Complementary shall be directly tightened into the ports according: ISO 1179-1, DIN 3852-2 without any further preparation.
The necessary torque values are according to Table 2a.

- The recommended torques are based on threads without lubrication. The recommended torques applies to ports of aluminum, brass or steel. A “torque wrench” shall be used.
- If lower max torque values are specified for valves, air reservoir etc, these are valid.
Using the ABC Push-In couplings, ABC swivels, and ABC Complementary together with ABC bulkheads, the following reduced torque values (Table 2b) are applicable.
