User Manual

Each tubing connection uses a threaded compression fi tting (“hose screw”) to keep
it secure. To connect these components:

Connecting Hoses

Thread a hose screw onto the tube
end.

Squeeze the tube while pushing it
fi rmly over the nozzle. Tubing should
completely cover the nozzle.

Tighten the connection by sliding the compression
fitting down over the nozzle and screwing
securely.

Nozzles are designed to attach tightly. If you need to remove a hose for any reason,
it may not pull off easily, even after unscrewing the compression fi tting.

Usually, a connection will come free by squeezing the hose on top of the nozzle
and pulling away. If this fails, cutting a small incision lengthwise (parallel) along the
nozzle should free it.

When a hose screw has been removed,
it may have distorted the tubing beneath
it. This last portion (about 1cm, 7/16”)
should be trimmed to ensure a perfect fi t
with the next connection. The tip should
always be re-cut if you needed to remove
the hose with an incision.
