Step F - Connect Tubes

HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES

Your Reverse Osmosis system includes push-in fittings

for quick tubing connection. Review the following

instructions before connecting the tubes in the next

step. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to

future leaks.

Cut tubes to length

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

Always cut the tubing square. See Fig. 18.

2. Inspect the tube up to 1” from the end to be sure

there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If

needed, cut the tubing again. See Fig. 18.

NOTE: Tubing lengths should allow for the

removal of the assembly from the hanger wash-

ers for servicing. If tubing lengths are shortened

for neater appearance, it may be necessary to

keep the assembly on the hanger washers for

service.

Connect tubes

NOTE: Remove foam plugs before connecting

tubes (See Fig. 17). Discard foam plugs.

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

ring. See Fig. 19. Continue pushing until the tube

bottoms out against the back of the fitting. See Fig.

20. Do not stop pushing when the tube engages the

o-ring. Failure to follow these instructions may 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. Mark tube with a piece of tape or

marker. See Figs. 19 & 20.

2. If additional tubing is required, see parts list at the

end of this manual.

To Disconnect Tubes

1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Fig.22.

2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tub-

ing out. See Fig. 22.
