• Tools you need may include the following:
  • a clean, undamaged tube
  • tube cutter or fine toothed saw
  • file or deburring tool
  • a permanent marker
  • for PEX tubing: a PEX stiffener
  • a clean rag
  • Push fitting

Step 5: Mark the Tube for Insertion

• Mark the tube to indicate the proper tube insertion depth.
• If you are using PEX tubing, you will need to use a PEX stiffener to prevent bending.

Step 6: Insert the Pipe

• Insert to a depth of 7/8" for 1/2" nominal pipe.
• Insert to a depth of 1" for a 3/4" nominal pipe.
• The slip coupling has two marks on it which indicate the "slip end" and the "roll stop mark". The "slip end" should be inserted first, and the "roll stop mark" is where the pipe will stop after sliding back.
• Push the "slip end" on the pipe until it stops at the "roll stop mark".

Step 7: Disengage the Grip

• Use the removal tool to disengage the grip.
• Slide coupling back to the other tube until it reaches the mark.

第八步：确保管子与管件连接安全牢固
Step 8: Make Sure Tube and Fitting are Secure

• Make sure the tube and fitting are securely connected by checking that the depth mark meets the release collar.
• That's all there is to it!
