step 4 - Make Tubing Connections
This system includes push-to-connect fittings for quick
tubing connections at most locations. To make tubing
connections with the fittings, do the following:
1. Allowing some slack, measure and cut a length of 1/4"
tubing to connect between the supply fitting and the
filter system inlet (See Figure 1). Use a sharp cutter or
knife to cut the end of tubing square.
2. Inspect the tubing, about 1" from end, to be sure there
are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If needed
cut the tubing again.
3. Push tubing through the collet and all the way into fit
ting. Full engagement is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing. Pull
on the tubing to be sure that it is held firmly in the fit
ting.
If more tubing is required, see parts list at the end of this
manual.
