High Pressure Tubing
When planning your installation and high pressure tubing runs, be aware
that the maximum bend radius for the tubing is 12”.
►►►
When running high pressure tubing in bilges or near heat sources,
it is recommended that you install 3/4” reinforced hose over the
high pressure tubing.
►►►
While running tubing, you may use a heat gun to assist in bending
it. However, be very careful not to overheat an area and crimp the
tubing.
❶
Once you’ve identi
fi
ed where the tubing will be run, start by
running the high pressure tubing from the output port on the
High Pressure Pump to the inlet port on the membrane
(see
Figure 2)
. Be sure when cutting the tubing to length to leave
some extra.
Install end
fi
ttings per the “Swagelok High Pressure
Fitting Installation” instructions.
►►►
When cutting the tubing make sure the ends are
square and clean. A plastic tubing cutter with scoring
action, which can be found in most hardware stores, is
recommended. This tool can be used to cut PVC tubing as
well. Do not use a hacksaw.
