7. Method of connecting the tubing to quick connectors type JG (John Guest) and QC (Quick
connector)
Disconnecting the tubing:
1) Remove the safety clip from the quick connector (if any) (fig. 1).
2) Symmetrically press the collets of the quick connector (fig. 2).
3) Remove the tubing (fig. 3).
Connecting the tubing:
1) Push the tubing into the quick connector (properly mounted tubing embeds 1,5 cm into the quick connector) (fig. 4).
2) Place the safety clip (if any) (fig. 5).

7.1. Methods of disassembling and installing the bushing in the cartridge
(new cartridge with screw-in elbow connector)
8. Installing the FXFCH5, FXFCH17-C faucet
Disassembling the bushing from the cartridge:
1) Remove the safety clip from the quick connector (fig. 1).
2) Symmetrically press the collets of the quick connector and pull out the tubing (fig. 2).
3) Unscrew the coupling from the old cartridge (at the water inlet and outlet). (fig. 3).
4) Remove the old pipe tape from the coupling thread (fig. 4).
5) Roll several layers of pipe tape on the coupling thread. The thread should be placed in the direction reverse to the direction in which the
coupling is screwed in (fig. 5).
Mounting the coupling in the cartridge:
1) Screw the elbow connector into the new cartridge. Watch out not to reverse the elbow connector. Reversing the screwed element may
unseal the connection and lead to water leaks (fig. 6).

1) Drill a 12 mm hole in the kitchen sink worktop (in case of enamelled sinks
the manufacturer recommends drilling the holes in the construction supporting
the sink) or in the kitchen worktop.
2) Put a metal washer 2, and then a rubber seal 3 on the thread nozzle
of the faucet.
3) Place the faucet in the previously drilled hole.
4) Place washers on the nozzle at the bottom side of the worktop 4, 5
(made of rubber), 6 (made of metal) and screw in with a nut 7.
5) Mount the tubing supplying the water and connecting the faucet
with the system:
- place the tubing 11 on a metal nut 10 and a plastic clamp 9
- push an insert 8 into the tubing.
- slide the tubing (until it stops) inside the faucet nozzle and screw
it in (manually!) with a nut that was placed on the tubing earlier.
