TUBING AND FLOW RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE TUBING TO TANK
AND FAUCET
1. Measure 3/4
″ from the end of each
remaining piece of tubing (faucet end and
inlet end) and mark with a pencil. (Check
for roundness, smoothness, cuts, nicks,
flat spots and sharp edges).
2. Push the tubing firmly into each fitting on
the manifold until the line is flush with the
fitting collar. (If the tubing is removed, re-
cut the end, measure, mark and re-insert).
Tubing must be fully inserted to avoid
leaks. To remove tubing: depress and hold
red or blue collet; pull tubing out to remove.
3. Pull out slightly on tubing to ensure a
good seal.

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
(cont.)
1. Remove drain line tubing by pushing up
on the drain line collet with one hand (1)
and removing the drain line with the
other hand (2).
2. Once the drain line has been removed
from the system base, grasp the end of
the flow restrictor and pull it straight out
from the tube*. If the restrictor is difficult
to remove by hand, a pair of pliers may
be used to grip the end of the restrictor
to aid in removal from the tubing.
*In some instances, the restrictor may slide out of the
drain tubing as it is removed from the drain line port.
If, after removing the drain line as described in step 1,
the restrictor is no longer in the end of the tubing,
check the drain line port. Remove the restrictor from
the port and proceed to step 3.
3. Take new restrictor and slide it back into the
drain tubing. Insert the restrictor by hand
only. Do not use pliers to insert. Make sure
to insert restrictor all the way into the
tubing. Failure to do so could result in
improper operation of the RO system.
4. Reinsert drain line tubing in system base.
Tug lightly on the tubing to ensure that
the collet is engaged and has a proper
grip on the tubing.
FLOW RESTRICTOR
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Each time the Reverse Osmosis cartridge is
changed, you will need to replace the flow
restrictor in the drain line as well.
Be sure to wash your hands before handling
inner parts of the system.
