Step F - Connect Tubes

HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES
Your Reverse Osmosis system includes push-in fittings for
quick tubing connection. Review the following instructions
before connecting the tubes in the next step. Failure to
follow these instructions may lead to future leaks.
Cut tubes to length
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.
2. Always cut the tubing square. See Fig. 15.
3. Inspect the tube up to 2.5 cm from the end to be sure
there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If
needed, cut the tubing again. See Fig. 15.
NOTE: Tubing lengths should allow for the removal of
the assembly from the hanger washers for servicing.
If tubing lengths are shortened for neater appearance,
it may be necessary to keep the assembly on the
hanger washers for service.
Connect tubes
NOTE: Remove protective foam plugs before
connecting tubes (See Fig. 14). Discard foam plugs.
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.
See Fig. 16. Continue pushing until the tube bottoms
out against the back of the fitting. See Fig. 17. Do
not stop pushing when the tube engages the o-ring.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to future
leaks. When a 1/4" (6.35 mm) tube is fully engaged,
1.7 cm of the tube has entered the fitting. When a 3/8"
(9.5 mm) tube is fully engaged, 1.9 cm of the tube has
entered the fitting. Mark tube with a piece of tape or
marker. See Figs. 16 & 17.
2. If additional tubing is required, see parts list at the end
of this manual.
To Disconnect Tubes
1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Fig. 19.
2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tubing
out. See Fig. 19.

CONNECT GREEN TUBE TO COLD WATER
SUPPLY PIPE
1. Locate the 1/4» (6.35 mm) green tube.
FIG. 16 2. Route one end of the green tube to the water supply
fitting on the cold water pipe. See Fig. 20.
3. Cut tube square. See Fig. 15.

4. Connect to water supply fitting. This is a compression
fitting. Tighten nut securely. See Fig. 5.
5. Route the other end of the green tube to green collet
on the left side of the Reverse Osmosis filter assembly.
6. Cut tube square and to length. See Fig. 15.
7. Insert all the way into the fitting. See Figs. 16 & 17.
8. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.

CONNECT BLUE TUBE TO REVERSE OSMOSIS
FAUCET
1. Locate the 3/8» (9.5 mm) blue tube.
2. Route one end of the blue tube to the RO faucet
connector. See Fig. 20.
3. Cut tube square. See Fig. 15.
4. Insert all the way into the faucet connector push-in
fitting. See Figs. 16 & 17.
5. Route the other end of the blue tube to blue collet on
the right side of the Reverse Osmosis filter assembly.
6. Cut tube square and to length. See Fig. 15.
7. Insert all the way into the fitting. See Figs. 16 & 17.
8. Pull on both ends of the tube to be sure it is held firmly

CONNECT RED AND BLACK TUBES FROM REVERSE
OSMOSIS FILTER TO DRAIN ADAPTER
1. Locate the 1/4" (6.35 mm) red tube attached to the
Reverse Osmosis filter assembly.
2. Route the other end of the red tube to a spot between
the RO filter assembly and the drain point. See Fig.
20.
3. Cut tube square and to length. See Fig. 15.
4. Insert all the way into the appropriate-sized (1/4")
push-in fitting of the tubing union (Fig. 20). See Figs.
16 & 17.
5. Locate the 3/8" (9.5 mm) black tube.
6. Cut one end of tube square and insert all the way into
the 3/8" push-in fitting of the tubing union. See Figs.
16 & 17.
7. Route the other end of the black tube to the drain
adapter (Fig. 20). Cut this tube as needed to route it
as straight as possible, without loops, dips, or kinks.
8. Connect to water supply fitting. This is a compression
fitting. Tighten nut securely.
9. Pull on both ends of the tubes to be sure they are held
firmly in the fittings.
ROUTE YELLOW TUBE TO STORAGE TANK
1. Locate the 3/8" (9.5 mm) yellow tube attached to the
Reverse Osmosis filter assembly.
2. Route the loose end of the yellow tube to the fitting on
top of the storage tank. See Fig. 20.
3. Cut tube square and to length. See Fig. 15.
4. Do not connect at this time. This will occur in the
sanitizing step (next page).
