EZ Connections
The standard tubing connections on the water coolers are EZ connect fittings. Use
tubing and follow the instructions below in Figure 7 to make the connections. If you cut
the tubing, make sure it is a square cut, fits squarely in the fitting, and seals properly.
Cut the tube square.
Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diameter is free of score marks and that burrs and sharp
edges be removed before inserting into fitting. For soft thin walled plastic tubing, we recommend the use
of a tube insert.
Insert tube.
Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into 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 that 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.
Disconnect Push in collet and remove tube.
To disconnect ensures the system is depressurized before removing fitting. Push in collet squarely against
the face of fitting. With the collect held in this position, the tube can be removed.
