- CARE OF YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM -

TUBING CONNECTION (all push- in fitting locations)

This RO system includes push-in fittings for quick

tubing connection at most locations. If working with the fittings, do the following.

Connection (Figure 14):

1.Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing square.

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.

3.Push tubing through the collet and all the way into

fitting. Full engagement is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing, and 3/4" for 3/8" tubing.

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.

Tubing correctly cut and connected
