· When making a connection in a confined space, allow enough tubing
drop from the cavity so that you have ample room to make a
connection. After the connection is made, simply feed the extra tubing
back into the cavity and secure properly.
· If the Multi-port Tee you select has extra unused ports, simply stub
a 3 to 4" tube on the port and cap with a ProPEX plug. Save port for
future expansion needs.
· Secure main-line runs every 32" with tube talons to joists to ensure
a clean and professional installation.
