CONNECT YELLOW TUBE TO WATER SUPPLY FITTING
1. Locate the yellow tube. One end is attached to the fil-
ter housing. Run the other end to the water supply fit-
ting on the cold water pipe. See Figure 8.
2. Refer to the "Cut Tubes to Length" section, below, and
cut the yellow tube square and to length as needed.
3. Refer to the "Connect Tubes" section, below, and insert
the yellow tube all the way into the 3/8" quick connect
fitting on included water supply fitting (installed in Step
1).
4. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.
HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES
Your Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter includes
push-in fittings for quick tubing connection. Review the
following before connecting the tubes.
Cut tubes to length
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.
Always cut the tubing square. See Figure 9.
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.
Connect tubes
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.
See Figure 10. Continue pushing until the tube bottoms
out against the back of the fitting. See Figure 11. A
common mistake is to stop pushing when the tube
engages the o-ring. This will lead to future leaks.
When a 3/8" tube is fully engaged, 3/4" of the tube
has entered the fitting. See Figures 10 & 11.
2. If using tubing other than tubing supplied with the sys-
tem, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and round-
ness with a smooth surface.
To disconnect tubes
1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Figure 12.
2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tubing
out. See Figure 13.
