Follow these steps to ensure a leak-proof connection.
Step 1: Prepare Tubing
Cut your 3/4" mainline tubing where you want the tee to be located. Ensure cuts are square.
Step 2: Unlock the Fittings
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collars backwards on both sides to expose the internal barbs. Do not remove the nuts completely.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Push your 3/4" poly tubing over the barbs on both sides until they hit the stops. You may need to wiggle the tubing to get it over the lip.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collars forward over the tubing to clamp the fitting in place. Hand-tighten firmly.
Step 5: Attach Accessory
Screw the 1/2" female pipe thread onto your 1/2" male thread fitting.
