Step 1 Cut HOME-FLEX® tubing to length
Using a stainless steel rated tube cutter,
cut the HOME-FLEX® tubing to the desired
length, leaving at least 1 extra inch for
placement of the tting. Cut in the valley
of the tubing and clean any burrs or jagged
edges. Cut in full circular strokes in one
direction, tightening gradually after each
rotation. Be careful to not overtighten the
roller as it could atten the HOME-FLEX®
tubing.
Step 2 Remove tubing jacket to prepare for tting
assembly
Using a utility knife, strip the yellow pipe
jacket back 2 valleys from the end of the
tubing.
DO NOT USE A TUBE CUTTER FOR THIS
TASK AS IT COULD DAMAGE THE TUBING.
Step 3 Place ange nut over HOME-FLEX® tubing
Slide the HOME-FLEX® ange nut over the
tubing with the threaded end pointing
toward the end of the tubing. The ange
should cover the yellow tubing jacket.
Step 4 Place retainer ring on HOME-FLEX® tubing
Place the retainer ring in the rst valley of
the tubing. Being careful to not dent the
tubing, clamp the ring in place by apply-
ing gentle pressure 360° around the ring. It
should t tightly and not easily spin around
the tubing.
