1. Planning Your Layout
Before installing, visualize your drain routing. Determine where the tee will be placed to effectively branch or combine lines without creating unnecessary bends or kinks that could impede flow.
2. Cutting the Tubing
Use scissors or a tubing cutter to make clean, straight cuts at the desired connection points. Precise cuts ensure a proper seal and secure fit on the barb connections.
3. Preparing the Fittings
Inspect the Drain Insert Tee for any manufacturing debris and ensure the barbs are clean and free of damage. The barbed design necessitates smooth, even edges for easy installation.
4. Connecting the Tubing
- Insert the end of the flexible tubing firmly onto one of the tee’s barb ports.
- Push the tubing all the way onto the barb until it seats tightly against the fitting’s base, ensuring the barb’s ridges grip the hose wall securely. No additional clamps are typically needed for low-pressure drain applications.
- Repeat this process for the other two ports, connecting them to their respective drain lines or multi-unit drain inputs.
5. Securing the Connections
Once all tubes are pushed onto the barbs, gently pull to verify they are secure. The barb design provides a leak-resistant hold, but inspecting the connections periodically is advisable.
