Each tubing connection uses a threaded compression
fi
tting (“hose screw”) to keep
it secure. To connect these components:
Connecting Hoses
Thread a hose screw onto the tube
end.
Squeeze the tube while pushing it
fi
rmly over the nozzle. Tubing should
completely cover the nozzle.
Tighten the connection by sliding the
compression
fi
tting down over the nozzle
and screwing it securely by hand.
Do not overtighten the nozzle
fi
tting. Most
connections are leak resistant even before
the compression
fi
tting is added.
If you are
fi
nding it dif
fi
cult to connect
smaller tubes, try temporarily
stretching-out the tube end by
inserting long-nose pliers. It can also
help to wet the nozzle slightly before
attaching the hose.
