To reattech, firmly push tubing back into fitting. If tubing-fitting joint leaks because of frequent removal,
cut 1/2" offthe tubing and reattach.
PIPE JOINTS:
There are pipe threads on a variety of components in the vending machine. The threads on them are sealed with
Teflon tape to prevent water leakage. If any of these components have been taken out for servicing or if the joint
leaks, new Teflon pipe thread seal tape needs to be put on.
ATTENTION: USE A STRAP WRENCH TO TIGHTEN or LOOSEN PLASTIC FITTINGS.
DO NOT USE A PIPE WRENCH AS ITS TEETH MAY DAMAGE THE
PART.
1. Remove old Teflon tape from components or fitting. Be careful not to allow any tape fragments to fall into
tubings or fittings as they may get caught in solenoids and pumps, which cause damage to them.
2. Teflon tape should be wrapped around male threads only. Starting at the second thread from the edge,
wrap new Teflon tape at a clockwise (CW) direction, (with the threaded end facing you). Overlap half the
width of each wrap and circle the threads a minimum of two (2) times. (Refer to diagram ).

3. Screw component or fitting back in their place. For anything plastic, hand tight plus one to 1 1/2 turns is
