This system includes
push-to-connect
fittings for quick
tubing connections
at most locations.
To make tubing
connections
with the fittings, do the following:
1. Allowing
some slack, measure
and cut a length of 1/4"
tubing to connect between
the supply fitting and the
filter system inlet (See Figure 1). Use a sharp cutter or
knife to cut the end of tubing square.
2. inspect
the tubing,
about 1" from end, 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 fit-
ting.
Full engagement
is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing.
Pull
on the tubing to be sure that it is held firmly in the fit-
ting.
if more tubing is required,
see parts list at the end of this
manual.
