Please make sure you follow these instruction in full detail to avoid any leaking problems.

1. Prepare the connection:

Cut the tube square ensuring it is free of score marks. We recommend the use new sharp cutter for a perfect cut. For soft or thin walled plastic tube we recommend the use of a tube insert.

2. Connecting Standard:

Push tubing straight in as far as it will go in with normal hand pressure.

Push the pipe into the fitting, to the pipe stop. The collect (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the pipe firmly in position whilst the 'O' Ring provides a permanent leak proof seal. Pull on the pipe to check it is secure. It is good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.
