quick connect
fitting
on
the water
IN side of the filter
assembly.
See Figure 8.
2. Run the other end to the water

and to
length as needed.

HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT
THE TUBES
Your Two-Stage
Drinking
Water
Filter includes
push-in fit-
tings for quick tubing
connection.
Review the following
instructions
before
connecting
the tubes.
Cut tubes to length
1. Use a sharp cutter
or knife to cut the end of tubing.
Always
cut the tubing
square. See Figure 10.
2. Inspect the end (about
1") of the tubing
to be sure there
are no nicks, scratches
or other rough spots.
If needed,
cut the tubing
again.
Connect
tubes
NOTE: Remove protective
foam plugs before connecting
tubes (See Fig. 9).
Discard foam plugs.
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages
the o-ring.
See
Figure 11A. Continue
pushing until the tube bottoms
out
against
the back of the fitting.
See Figure 11B. A common
mistake
is to stop pushing when the tube engages the o-
ring.
This will lead to future
leaks.
When a 3/8"
tube is
fully engaged,
3/4"
of the tube has entered
the fitting.
See Figures 11A & 11B.
2. If using tubing other than tubing
supplied
with the system,
be sure it is of high quality,
exact size and roundness with
a smooth surface.
To disconnect
tubes
1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Figure 12.
2. Continue
holding
collet inward
while pulling
the tubing
out.
