Tri-Lokt Nipples

The number of clamps required to secure a hose on a Tri-Lokt fitting is based upon the design of the shank of the fitting.
The larger the diameter of the Tri-Lokt Fitting the more clamps will be required. Our B-80 Catalog lists the number of
clamps to be used within the “Hose Fittings” section. The Tri-Lokt design is most effective when installing band clamps
under the yoke assembly as well as having a second set on top of the yoke or tie-strip assembly. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in an assembly failure when in use.

1. Identify the location where clamps should be
installed which is between sealing barbs once
the hose has been properly placed. Sealing
barbs are less prominent than holding barbs.

INSTALLATION HINTS:

1. The length and diameter of the hose shank will
determine how many clamps to be used. See B-80
Catalog, Hose Fittings section.

2. Remember to slide the correct amount of clamps onto
the hose end before inserting the fitting into the hose.
The first set of clamps will be under the yoke
assembly.

3. Tri-Lokt fittings have two sets of hose barbs: sealing
barbs for providing a seal against the hose, and
holding or locking barbs designed to provide addition al
strength to the lock. Clamps should be applied directl y
over the sealing barbs, between the holding barbs.

4. Use appropriate size clamps for fitting size.
