Assembly Procedures
Step 1:
Using a tube cutter, make a square cut
edge (maximum 15˚ cutting angle allowed).
Note:
Dull knives, side-cutters, or other cutting tools
may NOT ensure a good, clean cut. Burrs, oval
tubing, and contamination can damage seals
and other system components.

Step 5:
Allow the tube ample room for
a gradual bend.
Note:
Severe bends can collapse tubing,
resulting in leaks, line blockage, or
flow restriction.
Step 2:
Insert tubing straight into fitting until
a solid stop is felt. The tubing grip
and seal (on the O-ring) is now
accomplished.
Step 3:
Gently tug on tubing to ensure
tubing is secure.
