5. PROPER QUICK CONNECT FITTING CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
PLASTIC TUBING
QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS
Connections between the Pressure Regulator, Filtration Unit and Water Refrigeration Unit are
accomplished using plastic tubing and push-together quick-connect type
fi
ttings.
1.
Cut tube ends square and straight.
Do not deform the tube (i.e., cause
tube to compress its diameter so
it is no longer round).
2.
Make sure the outer surface of
the tube is clear of marks or
scratches for a length equal to
the “O” ring thickness to seat
properly against the tube.
3.
Avoid sharp changes in direction
when routing the tubing. Sharp
turns cause the tubing to
fl
ex and
deform which reduces its low capacity
Fittings consist of two parts: a body and
a colored collet.
1.
To install a tube, push it through the
collet until it seats
fi
rmly at the
bottom of the
fi
tting.
2.
To remove tube, push and hold the
collet against the body while pulling
the tube out.
Note: Systems are shipped with a plug in
each
external
fi
tting. Remove a plug in
the same manner as a tube.
