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.
