To Remove Tubing:
Press collet in to release grippers. While holding the collet
in, pull out on the tubing.
It may be necessary to use a partially open crescent wrench
or similar device to hold both sides of the collet in while
pulling the tubing out.
To Attach Tubing:
To ease insertion, moisten end of tubing with fresh
water or 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.
Push tubing straight in.
Resistance will be felt when the
tubing meets the O ring.
The outside of the tubing must be
free of knicks and gouges.
Cut tubing with a plastic tubing cutter or a
razor knife. Make a clean, square cut.
After cutting, make sure the end of the tube is
round. Correct any out of roundness that may have
occured in cutting the tubing.
