Push Fittings
What’s up with these fittings
where all I need to do is push in
the tubing?
These fittings are sometimes
called “press
-to-
fit” fittings and
can be commonly found in most
hardware stores.
They consist of an O-ring and a
gripper. The gripper holds the
tubing, both flexible and rigid, in
place and the O-ring seals the
connection.
To remove
the tubing
from these fittings, simply hold down the
collar and pull out the tubing. It can
sometimes help to rotate the tubing while
pulling.
Trivia
Why just a dribble from the spigot?
Why does the AquaPurr only flow a dribble
even though my faucet is on full blast?
This is intentional. Since your cat only needs
a dribble to drink from, we have added a
device called an Orifice Plate. It is inside the
AquaPurr connected to the water tubing.
An orifice plate is a fitting with a tiny hole in a piece of metal.
That tiny hole knocks down the volume and pressure of the
water to just a dribble.
So no matter how high you turn up your faucet, the AquaPurr
will only produce a dribble of water.
The lawyers made us say this…
We know you know all of this, but…
1)
Please completely read these instructions before installing and
using the AquaPurr eC. Failure to follow the instructions could
result in water damage or electric shock.
2)
For indoor use only. Do not use outdoors. The squirrels can find
their own water.
3)
When unplugging the power cord from the wall socket, grasp
the power adapter head, not the power cord. But you already
knew that.
4)
If you find yourself needing to tinker with the parts inside the
AquaPurr eC, please unplug it first. Why not, right?
5)
Just like yo
ur hair dryer, don’t let the AquaPurr eC fall in the sink
or the tub. That goes for the power cord too.
6)
The 3M Command Strips must be used as instructed to secure
the AquaPurr eC to the counter to help prevent moving the
AquaPurr eC away from the sink, which could cause flowing
water to land outside the sink, potentially causing water
damage.
7)
If any part of the AquaPurr eC looks damaged or is
malfunctioning, don’t use it and don’t try to fix it yourself.
Seems logical, right? Get hold of us to see if we can fix it for
you.
8)
Do not use the AquaPurr eC for anything other than its
intended use. That means no lawn mowing, bowling,
spelunking, or anything else!
Now a few pointers for your cats:
9)
Don’t let your cat chew on the power cord. Pretty obvious
right? Same goes for the tubing. If you are concerned about
your cat ignoring common sense, we included some cord
conduit (the hard plastic protector stuff) to wrap the cords and
tubes.
That’s a wrap!
10)
If your cat turns out to be allergic to the AquaPurr eC, please
discontinue use, and offer them a tissue.
And a few pointers for your kids:
11)
Don’t let your children chew on the power cord either.
12)
The AquaPurr eC is not a toy. Don’t let the
kiddos play with it.
Now back to things for you to remember:
If you use an extension cord, make sure it has the proper rating (I’m
not talking PG or R here! Check the watts and amps).
