- CARE OF YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM -
TUBING CONNECTION
(all push- in fitting locations)
This RO system includes push-in fittings for quick
tubing connection at most locations. If working with
the fittings, do the following.
Connection (Figure 12):
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing
square.
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.
3. Push tubing through the collet and all the way into
fitting. Full engagement is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing,
and 3/4" for 3/8" tubing.
If using tubing other than tubing supplied with the
system, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and
roundness with a smooth surface.

To Disconnect Tubing (Figure 13): Push the collet in-
ward and hold with a finger while pulling the tubing
out.
Changing Collet and O-ring (Figure 13):
1. With a small screwdriver remove the collet and o-
ring from the fitting. Be careful not to scratch the in-
ternal walls of the collet port.
2. Be sure the port is clean, then lubricate and insert
the o-ring seal to the bottom of the port.
3. Push the collet inward until it locks in place.
