2-26 Installing the System
Installing fittings
To install fittings:
1. Slide the polymeric compression screw and then the ferrule (small end of
the taper first) over the end of the tubing.

2. Bottom the tubing and ferrule into the fitting seat.
3. As you press the tubing into the fitting, hand-tighten the compression
screw. Tightening the compression screw compresses the ferrule, fusing
it onto the tubing in the proper position.
