Installation Tips
How to Use the Quick-connect Fittings
To Connect:
1. See Figure 1. Check and cut the tubing end squarely and cleanly with a utility knife or
scissors.
2. Make a 5/8" mark at the end of the tube so you will be able to confirm when the tube is
inserted fully into the fitting.
3. Remove the blue lock clip from the fitting with your nail. If the lock sleeve pops out of the
fitting when doing this, pop it back in.
4. Insert the tube into the fitting until you reach the 5/8" mark on the tube. You will feel
resistance when the tube reaches the small rubber O-ring inside the fitting. You will need to
wiggle the tube and apply additional pressure to get it past this O ring and create the seal. If
the tube is not 5/8" into the fitting and past the O-ring, no seal will be created, and
leaking will occur.
5. Once the tube is fully inserted, pop the blue lock clip back on the fitting. This will lock the
tube in place and prevent it from moving.
