Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Using Push-In Fittings (Figure 4)
This product is equipped with user-friendly “Push In” connectors. Proper use of the connectors is shown in the dia-

ness, and with no surface nicks or scratches. If it is necessary to cut the tubing, use a plastic tubing cutter or sharp
razor knife. Make a clean square cut. Should a leak occur at a Push In connector, the cause is usually defective tubing.
To fi x: 1. Relieve pressure. 2. Release tubing. 3. Cut off at least 1/4” from end.
4. Reattach tubing. 5. Confi rm connection is leak-free.
