How to use quick connect fittings
Cut tube square
Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside
diameter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp
edges be removed before inserting into fitting. For soft or
thin walled plastic tubing we recommend the use of a
tube insert.
Insert tube
Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed in to the
tube stop.
Push up to tube stop
Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet
(gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube
firmly in position while the 'O' ring provides a permanent
leak proof seal.
Pull to check secure
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.
Disconnecting a fitting
Ensure system is depressurised before removing fitting.
Push in collet squarely against face of fitting.
With the collet held in this position, the pipe can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.
Your kit also contains a release aid tool which you can place over the
collet, and helps pushing the collet squarely while removing the tube:
General guidelines with regards to tube bending:
In general, you should avoid sharp bends. A sharp bend may
result in kinking the tube, and restrict or completely prevent the
flow.
Once all the elements are in place, you can install your
motherboard inside the case and proceed, with the water block
installation.
