HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES

Your Reverse Osmosis Water System includes push-in

fittings for quick tubing connection. Review the follow-

ing 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 Figure 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 Figure 17.

NOTE: Tubing lengths should allow for the removal of

the assembly from the hanger washers for servicing, if

tubing lengths are shortened for heater appearance, it

may be necessary to keep the assembly on the hanger

washers for service.

Connect tubes

NOTE: Remove protective foam plugs before connect-

ing tubes (See Fig. 16). Discard foam plugs.

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

See Figure 18A. Continue pushing until the tube bot-

toms out against the back of the fitting. See Figure 18B.

A common 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

Figures 18A & 18B.

2. 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.
