b) In case of stainless steel fitting:
Removed tube is not accompanied by sleeve. Make sure not to
contaminate tube with dust. If contaminated, wipe with soft and
clean cloth.
3) Re–mount the tube.
a) In case of brass fitting
Push the tube into the fitting until the sleeve on the tube butts
firmly against the sealing surface of the fitting.
b) In case of stainless steel fitting
When the tube is filled with a sleeve, it is re–mounted in the same
way as when using a brass fitting. If the tube does not have a
sleeve, however, trim 3 mm from the end of the tube, then push it
into the fitting until it stops.
Fixing the tube without first trimming the end may cause water
leakage. Also, be careful not to trim the tube excessively.
4) Rotate nut with finger as tight as possible.
a) In case of brass fitting
Holding fitting base with wrench, rotate nut with wrench by 1 and
1/2 rotation.
b) In case of stainless steel fitting
Holding fitting base with wrench, rotate nut with wrench so that
nut contacts fitting.
