Installation Practices
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.
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.
Step 5 Install HOME-FLEX® tting in destination
(manifold, pipe system, xed appliance, etc.)
Make sure that the gasket inside the
HOME-FLEX® tting is secure on the socket.
Apply a pipe sealant to the tapered (NPT)
thread of the tting and install it in the gas
system.
