Installation Guide

Fitting Assembly

should not be supported by conductive metallic systems such as metallic appliance vents,

ducting, or piping. Electrical cables must be avoided and cannot be used as supports. Tubing

is considered supported if it passes through or over a structural component of the building.

4.2 Fitting Assembly

Step 1 Cut HOME-FLEX® tubing to length

Using a stainless steel 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. Do not push

the nut beyond the catch on the jacket.

The ange should cover the yellow tubing

jacket.
