How to use the Quick Connect Fittings
To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed into the fitting. The unique locking system holds the tube firmly in place
without deforming it or restricting flow. Use the steps below in reference to any quick connect tube connections.
It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score
marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before
inserting into fitting.
Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into
the tube stop.
Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet
(gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube
firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent
leak proof seal.
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. It is a good practice
to test the system prior to leaving site and /or before use.
To disconnect, ensure the system is
depressurized before removing the tube. Push in the col-
lect squarely against face of fitting. With the collet held
in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can
then be reused.
Turn off the cold water supply to the faucet by turning the angle stop valve completely off.
Open cold water sink faucet to relieve pressure.
