Follow these steps to ensure a secure connection.
Step 1: Prepare Threads
Wrap Thread Sealant Tape around the Male Pipe Threads (MPT) to ensure a watertight seal. Screw the fitting into your female threaded component (valve, filter, etc.) and hand-tighten.
Step 2: Prepare Tubing
Cut your poly tubing squarely. Pro Tip: Dip the end of the tubing in warm water or let it sit in the sun to soften it. This makes inserting the barb significantly easier.
Step 3: Insert Fitting
Push the poly tubing over the barbed end of the adapter. Use a rocking motion and ensure the tubing goes over all the barbs for maximum hold.
Step 4: Secure with Clamp
Slide a Stainless Steel Hose Clamp over the tubing where it overlaps the barbs. Tighten the clamp with a nut driver or screwdriver to prevent blowouts under pressure.
