USE: Cut the tube close to the
tting. Place ring removal tool
into the tting end and make two
cuts approximately 3/8" apart.

Twist off tube. Inspect tting for
reuse. Assure sealing barbs are

blade with replacement blade. Reassemble and replace
the screw.

stiffeners) must be used when a supply xture valve will
be pushed on or compressed onto the OD of PEX.
