How to use

Measure the required length of the brass tube. Use a fine-tooth saw or tubing cutter to make a clean, straight cut at a 90-degree angle for optimal fitting. — Measure and Cut
If connecting to fittings, ensure the outer diameter (OD) matches the fitting's specification. Deburr the cut end gently to remove any sharp edges that could impede connection or damage seals. — Prepare for Connection
Insert the tube firmly into the intended fitting or component. For pneumatic applications, push until it seats past the internal O-ring for an airtight seal. For crafts, use appropriate adhesives or soldering techniques. — Assemble and Secure
