How to use the Quick Connect Fittings
To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed into the fitting. The unique locking system holds the tube firmly in place
without deforming it or restricting flow. Use the steps below in reference to any quick connect tube connections.
It is essential that the outside diameter be free
of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges
be removed before inserting into fitting.
Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop.
The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth
which hold the tube firmly in position while the
O-ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.
