2. Point X Feed water connection:
Tubing color: Red tubing. Connect the RED tubing to the Feed Water Needle Valve.
Fitting type: Metal compression nut fitting. See Fig.1B on page 4. Use plastic sleeve.
Add “insert to tubing. No teflon tape here. Tighten nut with wrench.
Tips! If Point X leaks after you have tightened the brass nut, check to make sure you did put the
plastic “insert and sleeve” onto the tubing. If the insert is already in place, then try ap-
plying Teflon tape from the threaded metal stud all the way to the plastic tubing, wrap the
whole connection with 8-10 rounds of Teflon tape. Smooth out the tape on the threaded
part with your fingers. Tighten brass nut again. This should stop the leak.
If the plastic sleeve is damaged, you can use the metal sleeve, but you need to apply
Teflon tape as described above, this should stop the leak.
