HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES

Your Reverse Osmosis Water System includes push-in fit-

tings for quick tubing connection. Review the following

instructions before connecting the tubes in the next step.

Cut tubes to length

1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.

Always cut the tubing square. See Fig. 17.

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. See Fig. 17.

Note: Tubing lengths should allow for the removal

of the assembly from the hanger washers for serv-

icing. If tubing lengths are shortened for neater

appearance, it may be necessary to keep the

assembly on the hanger washers for service.

Connect tubes

1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.

See Fig. 18. Continue pushing until the tube bottoms

out against the back of the fitting. See Fig. 19. A com-

mon mistake is to stop pushing when the tube engages

the o-ring. This will lead to future leaks. When a 1/4”

tube is fully engaged, 11/16” of the tube has entered

the fitting. When a 3/8” tube is fully engaged, 3/4” of

the tube has entered the fitting. See Fig. 18 & 19.

2. If using tubing other than tubing supplied with the sys-

tem, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and round-

ness with a smooth surface.

Disconnect Tubes

1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Fig.21.

2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tubing

out. See Fig. 21.
