Installation Instructions
HOW TO CONNECT TUBES
The Reverse Osmosis system includes push-in
fittings for quick tubing connection. Review the
following instructions before connecting the tubes in
the next step. Failure to follow these instructions may
lead to future leaks.
CUT TUBES TO LENGTH
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.
Always cut the tubing end square and smooth, with
no nicks or rough spots.

NOTE:
Tubing lengths should allow the RO assembly
to be moved for servicing.
2. Inspect the tube up to 1” from the end to be sure
there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots.
If needed, cut the tubing again.
CONNECT TUBES
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the
o-ring. Continue pushing until the tube bottoms out
against the back of the fitting. Do not stop pushing
when the tube engages the o-ring. Failure to follow
these instructions may lead to future leaks. When
a 1/4” tube is fully engaged, 11/16” of the tube
has entered the fitting. When a 3/8” tube is fully
engaged, 3/4” of the tube has entered the fitting.
Mark tube with a piece of tape or marker.
2. If additional tubing is required, see parts list at the
end of this manual.
