C.8 Using Quick Connect Fittings
8.1 Insert tube through collet of fitting. The fitting will be
gripped before it will seal.
8.2 Push the tube all the way into the fitting to the stop. The
collet has stainless steel teeth which grip the tube while
the o-ring provides a permanent leakproof seal.
8.3 Pull the tube to check that it is secure. It is good practice
to check the system before it is used.
8.4 To disconnect, ensure that the system is depressurized.
Push the collet against the face of the fitting. With the
collet held in this position, pull on the tube to remove it.
C.9 Reverse Osmosis Membrane Installation
9.1 Disconnect the processed water line from the RO housing end cap via the
quick connect fitting.
9.2 Twist off the end cap from the housing.
9.3 Apply a fresh coating of a FDA approved silicone lubricant to the two
o-rings on the end of the membrane.
9.4 Insert the membrane into the housing with the “two o-ring end” first.
9.5 Thread the cap back on and hand tighten firmly.
9.6 Reconnect the processed water line by inserting it into the quick connect
fitting.
C.10 Ultraviolet Lamp Installation
(Systems with the Polisher Biolyte™ Ultraviolet Sanitizer Only)
10.1 Unscrew white cap with silicon plug from stainless steel UV chamber.
10.2 Carefully insert bulb into the quartz sleeve. Be sure the wire is hanging out
of the quartz sleeve.
10.3 Push the stopper (which is attached to the wire) into the quartz sleeve.
10.4 Remove the silicon plug from the white cap.
10.5 Slide the wire through the hole in the cap.
10.6 CAREFULLY screw the cap onto the UV chamber. DO NOT CROSS THREAD.
There is a glow bottle starter attached to the lamp. This should be left
inside of the cap.
10.7 Replace the silicon plug around the wire into the cap.
10.8 Plug the wire into the power adapter.
10.9 DO NOT attach the power adapter to a power source at this time.
C.11 Connecting Components
Most connections are with plastic quick connect type fittings (see C.8 above).
The exception is the drain saddle which has a compression type fitting that uses
a nut and a plastic insert. Systems with air gap faucets have two slip-on barbed
tubing connections.
