Make Tubing Connections

Your water filtration system includes push-in fittings for quick tubing connection. Review the following
instructions before connecting the tubes. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to future leaks.
Connect Tubing:
1. Use a tube cutter to cut the end of tubing square.
2. Inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots.
If needed cut the tubing again.
3. Push tubing through the collet and all the way into fitting. Full engagement is 11/16" length of tube
into the fitting.
To Disconnect Tubing:
1. Push the collet inward and hold with a finger while pulling the tubing out.

Turn On Water, Check for Leaks and Rinse Carbon Fines

1. Open any shutoff valve(s) that you closed at the beginning of this installation.
2. Activate the refrigerator water dispenser to purge air from the system. When the water runs smooth,
with no bubbles or spurting, close faucet and check installation for leaks.
3. Let the water run for 10 minutes to rinse out carbon fines.
