Rationale: AS5838 HAS BEEN REAFFIRMED TO COMPLY WITH THE SAE FIVE-YEAR REVIEW POLICY. CAUTION: THE AS5830 SERIES COUPLING BODY AND SLEEVE WILL FIT ON AS1650 SERIES FERRULES DUE TO THE USE OF O-RING SEAL SIZES IN COMMON. ALSO, ASSEMBLY OF WORN AS1650 SERIES SLEEVE WITH AS5830 SERIES FERRULES MAY BE POSSIBLE. WARNING: DO NOT MIX AS5830 SERIES PARTS WITH AS1650 SERIES PARTS. THIS COMBINATION IS NOT QUALIFIED AND MAY RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC LEAKAGE AND/OR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE JOINT AND DOES NOT PRODUCE A HIGH CURRENT CAPABLE JOINT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS5830 SPECIFICATION.
