Tube Fitting Installation & Tube Bending Essentials

Build skills for safe and accurate installations

Together, these courses deliver a comprehensive skillset comparable to the traditional Swagelok® Tube Fitting Installation programme, enhanced with modern learning materials and expanded hands-on tube bending practice. Delegates leave with the confidence and competence to complete installations accurately, consistently, and safely.

What you'll learn

Delegates will learn the safe installation and reassembly of tube fittings, alongside best practices for working with tubing fitting systems.

• The course focuses on practical exercises, including the safe installation of a tubing test piece

• This test piece is burst-tested above the ASME 4:1 safety requirement, demonstrating the integrity of the joints

• At our Bristol and Warrington training facilities, delegates can witness these tests firsthand

• A unique feature of this bundle is the opportunity to assemble a small panel from scratch without a drawing. This exercise teaches a structured, repeatable approach, building a strong foundation for real-world panel and system fabrication

This bundle is ideal for delegates who need to construct systems end-to-end and develop confidence in selecting and using the correct tools and components.

How Swagelok tube fitting training improves safety, efficiency, and reliability

• Right-first-time installation: Minimises errors and rework, saving time and resources

• Reduced leaks: Consistent installation practices improve system reliability and safety

• Material efficiency: Proper tube handling and bending reduce waste

• Improved productivity: A systematic approach ensures predictable and efficient installation outcomes

• Enhanced safety: Delegates gain a clear understanding of risks and safe practices when working with tubing systems

Key competencies upon course completion

Delegates completing this bundle will be able to:

• Construct systems: Build and tube up panels or systems with or without dimensioned drawings

• Install tube fittings safely: Assemble and reassemble Swagelok®tube fittings using best-practice techniques

• Use inspection tools correctly: Apply the Swagelok®Gap Inspection Gauge accurately and understand when it is required

• Select appropriate components: Choose tubing and fittings based on application needs and safety requirements

• Install pipe threads safely: Correctly install pipe threads, which are often part of a tubing system connection to instrumentation
