Details on Tubing Connections:
To ensure a smooth and correct installation, please connect the water lines following the sequence and
order outlined below. Refer to Fig.11 & 11A for proper point locations.
1. Point Z - Faucet connection:
Tubing color: Clear tubing. Connect the CLEAR tubing to the base of the RO faucet.
Fitting type: See Fig.10 (Page 12). Metal compression nut fitting. Use plastic sleeve. Add “insert” to
tubing. No teflon tape here. Tighten nut with wrench.
(DO NOT use metal sleeve on plastic tubing, will cause leakage! A metal sleeve is
provided for metal tubing usage. Apply teflon if using metal tubing and sleeve.)
2. Point X - Feed water connection:
Tubing color: Red tubing. Connect the RED tubing to the Feed Water Needle Valve.
Fitting type: See Fig. 5c. Metal compression nut fitting. Use plastic sleeve.
Add “insert” to tubing. No teflon tape here. Tighten nut with wrench.
Tips!
If Point Z or Point X leaks after you have tightened the brass nut, check to make sure you
did put the plastic “insert” into the tubing. If the insert is already in place, then try applying
Teflon tape from the threaded metal stud all the way to the plastic tubing, wrap the whole
connection with 8-10 rounds of Teflon tape. Smooth out the tape on the threaded part with
your fingers. Tighten brass nut again. This should stop the leak.
If the plastic sleeve is damaged, you can use the metal sleeve, but you need to apply
Teflon tape as described above, this should stop the leak.
