HOW TO USE THE BUDDIE FIT™ PRESS FITTINGS
Making the connections with the
¼
” tubing is easy with the
Buddie Fit™ press fittings included.
To properly connect the
¼
" tubing to the press fittings, follow
these simple steps:
1.
Remove the blue clip from the press fitting.
2.
Make sure the end of the tubing is cut evenly and not at an angle.
3.
Push the tubing into the fitting. You will hit the first stop.
The tubing is still not secured properly. Push the tubing a
second time and you will feel the tubing insert completely
into the press fitting.
4.
Pull back on the tubing to ensure it is secure.
5.
Insert the locking blue clip back onto the end of the press fitting.
NOTE:
To remove a piece of tubing, remove the blue clip
and press down on the collet where the tubing enters the
fitting. While the collet is depressed, remove the tubing from
the fitting.

NOTE:
We recommend cutting the tubing with a
razor blade or something similar so the tubing is not
pinched. If the tubing is pinched, it will not seal properly.
All tubing connections will have a “double push” into the
connectors. You should feel a two-step insert to verify the
tubing is inserted completely into the connectors.
