Instruction #2 - Install Tubing to Quick Connect FittingsPLASTIC TUBING

1. Cut tube ends square and straight.Do not deform tube (i.e., cause tubeto compress its diameter so it is nolonger round).

2. Make sure outer surface of tube isclear of marks or scratches for alength equal to twice tube diameter.This allows "O" ring to seat properlyagainst tube.

3. Avoid sharp changes in directionwhen routing tubing. Sharp turnscause tubing to flex and deform,which reduces its flow capacity andmay increase lateral stress on thefittings, causing leakage.

QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGSFittings consist of two parts: a Body anda collet.

1. To install a tube, push it throughCollet until it seats firmly at bottom offitting (Figure A and B.).

2. To remove a tube, push and holdCollet against Body while pulling tubeout (Figure C).

A. Push tube through Collet into Body. B. Tube must seat firmly at bottomof fitting.

C. Push Collet against Body torelease tube.
