Pneumatic Fittings removal tool for retracting the locking collar of an open ended hydraulic/pneumatic fitting comprising: a seat structured and arranged to seat against the open end of the fitting a housing structured and arranged to residence the seat an adjustable actuator structured and arranged to laterally actuating the seat within the housing a swivel structured and arranged to maintainingthe seat in a given orientation and an attacher integral to the housing, the attacher structured and arranged to attach the housing to the locking collar of the fitting.

Aircraft hydraulic/pneumatic fitting removal tool and associated technique of use for disengaging the locking collars of such fittings. In a particular embodiment, the fitting removal tool has a proper cylindrical housing obtaining a 1st and second end. Proximate to the second finish is an internal circumferential pocket.

Modem aircraft, especially commercial aircraft, often utilize high pressure fluid circuits typically referred to as pneumatic or hydraulic systems to manage and operate a wide range of aircraft systems. From flight control systems such as flaps and ailerons to engine systems such as thrust reversers and safety systems such as door latches, hydraulic/pneumatic systems have confirmed very trustworthy and usually superior to other systems. It is therefore not surprising that a modem commercial aircraft may have a lot of miles of hydraulic pathways.

Although a typical and usually desirable characteristic of hydraulic/pneumatic systems is that the piping may be versatile and or formed into a variety of shapes, substantially rigid fittings are generally utilized to connect the ends of piping to housings or other structures. Throughout operation, an aircraft might be topic to a number of vibration forces. In some situations these vibrations might be adequate to loosen fittings. To combat this loosening tendency, fittings have been created with locking systems intended to keep them in location and resist loosening more than time, regardless of whether due to vibration or other stresses.

In specific, and by way of example only, according to an embodiment of the present invention, this invention supplies a fitting removal tool for retracting the locking collar of an open ended hydraulic/pneumatic fitting. The removal tool supplies a seat structured and arranged to seat against the open finish of the fitting a housing structured and arranged to home the seat an adjustable actuator structured and arranged to laterally actuating the seat within the housing a swivel structured and arranged to keeping the seat in a provided orientation and an attacher integral to the housing, the attacher structured and arranged to attach the housing to the locking collar of the fitting.
