This product is outfitted with a user friendly ‘Push In’ connector at the vent valve. Proper use of the connectors is
shown in the figure below. It is most important that the tubing selected for use with these connectors be of high
quality, exact size and roundness, and with no surface nicks or scratches. If it is necessary to cut the tubing, use a
plastic tubing cutter or sharp razor knife. Make a clean square cut. Should a leak occur at a "Push-In" connec-
tor, the cause is usually a problem with tubing.
To Fix:
1. Relieve pressure 2. Release tubing 3. Cut off at least 1/4” from end
4. Reattach tubing 5. Confirm connection is leak free
