Good to know

These fittings are compatible with any soft tubing that matches the 16/10mm dimensions. Ensure tubing ends are cut squarely and pushed fully into the fitting before tightening the compression ring. No additional sealant is needed; the EPDM O-rings provide a reliable seal. For best results, hand-tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening with tools.
