PLASTIC TUBING
Cut tube ends square and straight.
deform the tube (i.e., cause tube to compress its
diameter so it is no longer round).
Make sure the outer surface of the tube is clear
of marks or scratches for a length equal to twice
the tube diameter. This allows the "O" ring to
seat properly against the tube (See Figure 2).
Avoid sharp changes in direction when routing
the tubing. Sharp turns cause the tubing to flex
and deform which reduces its flow capacity.
