Usin g modified fittin g with internal “sto p ” removed When used for supplying degassed boat resin, it may be necessary to pass the tubing through the gland and down into the resin pot. For this application, either purchase a gland body without the stop, or carefully drill out the stop in the standard body fitting to the same diameter as the fitting bore. To use the fitting without the internal stop: 1. Cut the tube end to the desired shape. For de-gassing use this may be an acute angle to prevent the tube from sealing against the bottom of the resin bucket. 2. If necessary, mark the tube with the desired depth of penetration through the gland. 3. Make sure the O-ring is in place and loosely fit the gland nut. 4. Insert the tube to the depth required. 5. Hand tighten the gland nut.
