Installation tips for a secure seal
- Inspect tubing ends for clean, square cuts before installing.
- Push the 1/2" tubing onto the barb until it seats fully against the base of the fitting.
- If your setup experiences high flow or pressure, consider a lightweight hose clamp on the barb to ensure extra security.
- Arrange tubing to prevent kinking at the elbow and test the system for leaks after initial run.
