-- STEP 5: INSTALL STORAGE TANK,
MAKE REMAINING TUBING CONNECTIONS --
1. CONNECT DRAIN TUBING, FAUCET TO
DRAIN ADAPTER: Referring to FIG. 8, run the loose
section (connected to faucet barb fitting) of black
3/8"tubing from the faucet to the drain adapter, with
a black collet, installed on page 6. Cut this tubing as
needed to route in as straight of a run as possible,
without loops, dips, low spots or kinks. Cut the end
of the tubing square. Then, push all the way into the
fitting. Pull on the tubing to be sure it' s held firmly
in the adapter fitting. See pages 12 and 13 for tubing
connection instructions.
2. CONNECT TUBING TO WATER SUPPLY: Use the
tubing insert, ferrule and nut to fasten the 1/4"green
tubing to the saddle valve fitting installed on page 5.
