What must be verified before installing new tubing?

Verifying both the diameter of existing tubing and the chemical compatibility of the materials is essential before installing new tubing. The diameter is critical to ensuring that the new tubing will fit properly within the existing system and connect securely without causing leaks or flow restrictions.

Chemical compatibility is equally important; using materials that are not compatible can lead to degradation of the tubing, resulting in leaks or failures that could compromise the fluid system. This can pose safety hazards and lead to costly repairs or replacements.

Thus, confirming both factors ensures a reliable and safe installation, facilitating optimal performance of the fluid lines and fittings.
