Connecting Transport Tube

• Use CAUTION to avoid creating inside cuts or flaps in tube.
• Inspect tube interior wall after cutting. Any irregularities will cause a restriction that will result in the product not functioning properly.
• Follett recommends using a tube-cutting tool to cut the tube and diagonal pliers to remove any uncut wire from polywire tube. (See Steps 1 and 2)
• Soften tube in hot (160 F/71 C) water and spread with pliers before making connection. (See Steps 3 through 5)
• Do not splice tube.
• Insulate entire tube run.
• Dips in the transport tube will result in standing water and must be avoided by supporting the tube at least every 2 ft (0.6 m).
• Maintain a minimum 1/4" per 1' slope (2 cm per meter) draining away from the dispenser or bin.
• Refer to installation manual for complete connection details.
