About One-Touch Joint: Installation
- Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.
- Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.
- If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor piping connection point.
NOTE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare, it clicks.
CAUTION:
- Female-side piping connection point is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert it in axial direction.
- Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
- After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure connection does not come loose.
NOTE:
One-touch joint connection is used in points below.
