Check Fit
Ensure that the complete appliance will fit under the sink. Check all factory fittings1 and tubing
connections. Be sure all locking clips are in place. See steps A through F and the illustrations
below for tube connection instructions.
A. Cut tube square D. Insert the locking clip
Collet
Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside
diameter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp
edges be removed before inserting into fitting.
Insert the locking clip. The locking clip secures the collet in its
position to prevent an accidental disconnection of the tube.
B. Insert tube E. Pull to check security
The fitting grips before it seals. Ensure that the tube is
pushed into the tube stop.
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. Test the appliance
before leaving the site or before use.
C. Push up to tube stop F. Disconnecting
Push the tube into the fitting to the tube stop. The collet
(gripper) has stainless-steel teeth that hold the tube firmly
in position while the O-Ring provides a permanent
leak-proof seal.
To disconnect, ensure that the appliance is depressurized.
Remove the locking clip. Push in the collet squarely against
face of the fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube
can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.
1The WaterMax® RO has been pressure tested. However, due to shipping vibrations, Hague recommends rechecking all
factory fittings upon installation.
