Installation manual
The standard tubing connections on the PureWaterCooler™ are of quick-con-
nect o-ring seal design. Use the tubing and follow the instructions below in Fig. 7 to
make the connections. If you cut the tubing, make sure it is a square cut, fits square-
ly in the fitting and seals properly.

Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diameter is free of score
marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting.
For soft thin walled plastic tubing we recommend the use of a tube insert.
Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into the tube stop.
Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet (gripper) has stain-
less steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the “O” ring pro-
vides a permanent leak proof seal
Pull on the tube to check it is secure. It is good practice to test the system
prior to leaving site and/or before use.
To disconnect ensure the system is depressurized before removing fitting.
Push in collet squarely against face of fitting. With the collect held in this
position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.
