LEAk PREvENTION PAgE
Threaded Fittings
To prevent a leak on any threaded fitting that screws into the Reverse
collet
Osmosis System you simply need to employ Teflon tape. The main in-
blue
structions pages indicates the preventative measure of wrapping the
'C' Clip
threads of the various threaded fittings 4-7 times with Teflon tape.
This preventative measure will ensure against any potential leaks
from the various threaded fittings throughout your Reverse Osmosis
Threaded Fitting
System. ADDING SUFFICIENT TEFLON TAPE IS KEY!
If you are experiencing a leak from a 1/4 inch tube inserted into a threaded fitting, you simply need to insert the tub-
ing into the threaded fitting further. To do this you may need a small pair of pliers to assist you in gripping the tube. If
the use of pliers is needed, grab the tubing 1/2 inch from where the tube inserts into the threaded fitting in order to
not scratch the section of tube that will be inserting further into the threaded fitting. A scratched section of tubing
that is inserted into a threaded fitting can act as a path for water to flow, which in turn may result in a small leak.
To more easily insert the tubing into the various fittings of your system it is helpful to remove
TIP
the blue "C" clip from around the collet and then insert the tubing. After the tubing has been
inserted into place, pull lightly on the tubing in order to make room for the collet and then place
the collet back into its original position. The blue "C" clip holds the collet in its proper position
while the system is in operation.
