Tube-O Fitting










When disconnecting or connecting tube-O fittings, observe the following.

- The male and female portions of the fitting are retained with a nut.
- Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent twisting of the tubes when disconnecting.
- An O-ring seal is installed around the tube on the male side of the fitting.
- Use only the O-ring seal listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog.
