Using the Guest Push Fittings
Tubes that may be connected to a Guest push fitting require a corresponding rigid
tube coupling on the end of the tube. Align the parallel section of the rigid tube with
the loose collet on the Guest push fitting and push firmly until the tube stops.
To remove the tube, push the loose circular collet against the body of the Guest push
fitting while pulling the tube firmly. The tube will slide out from the fitting. The
tube/fitting can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly without damage.
Using the Quick Release Fittings
Tubes to be attached to one of the quick release sockets require a corresponding
male coupling on the end of the tube. To connect a tube, push the end of the tube
into the socket until an audible click is heard.
To remove a tube, press the metal catch against the socket and pull the tube free.
Where appropriate, some quick release fittings incorporate a self-sealing valve to
prevent loss of fluid when the fitting is disconnected.
