Assembly instructions for cutting ring / compression fitting
Hydraulic lines are capable of causing serious personal injury and environmental damage, but this danger is very often underestimated in practice. Incorrect assembly or improper use of threaded connectors, pipes, and accessories can compromise the product‘s functional reliability, causing it to fail and possibly pose a threat to people and equipment. In extreme cases, violently spraying oil and ruptured lines can even cause fatal injuries.
We therefore recommend most strongly that these assembly instructions must be strictly followed!
Machinery manufacturers and operators must also fulfill additional obligations.
They are responsible for:
- ensuring that pipelines and threaded connections are used in compliance with the respective specifications
- guaranteeing scheduled monitoring and systematic inspections by authorised personnel with the appropriate qualification and knowledge of hose line equipment
- detecting and eliminating defects
This active assumption of responsibility is attended in the legal framework. Based on the principles of industrial safety, the equipment and product safety act, the machine and pressure device directive and the ordinance on industrial safety and health, tasks are specified further and set out in procedural regulations for those concerned.
This guide supplements the pertinent standards, guidelines and regulations. It also reflects the current state of the art. No claims are made regarding completeness.
NOTE: All tools and materials must be checked before each assembly procedure to ensure that they are in good condition.

LL series tolerances match the tolerances of the L series.
- Pipes must be cut to size at right angles ±0.5° before all pipe fitting operations. Pipe cutters or angle grinders may not be used for this.
- Lightly deburr the insides and outsides of pipes.
- After deburring, clean the pipes.
- Use support bushes for thin-walled pipes.
- Markings (position of the nut) make it easier to determine the number of turns for path-dependent assembly.
- If necessary, use appropriate spanner extensions.
