                                       How to Use Alkon AQ-DOT Push-In Fittings


                                       Alkon AQ-DOT push-in fittings are designed for        When tubing (1) is inserted into the
                                       easy use and fast installation.                       fitting, the inside diameter passes over
                                                                                             the brass tube support (2). This, combined

                                                                                             teeth through the inside diameter of
