9.4 Checking for Leaks
• Check for leaks that may have occurred due to the tubing not being inserted
beyond the o-ring seal. In case of a leak, turn the pump off and remove the
leaking fitting. Then insert the tubing back into the fitting making sure the tubing
inserts beyond the o-ring. When removing the Push-Con fitting, use a 3/8” open-
end wrench against the ring, holding the connector with your thumb.
• If you still have leaks, remove the tubing and touch the edge of the tubing for
sharpness. If sharp, check the O-ring inside the push-conn fitting to see if it has
been cut. Soften the edges of the tubing with a file and try again. Be sure to push
in as you give a twist. Hold the outer ring of the push-conn fitting to seat the
tubing securely.
9.5 Adjusting the Fog Pattern
• As you retest, watch the flow of fog and how it shoots to help you determine the
pattern you would like to see when you mount it in a different position. If you are
doing several shapes or changes, use a 3/8” open-end wrench again to hold
against the ring while you pull it apart.

9.6 Mounting the Mist Line
• The mist line is now ready to be mounted. The mist line could be mounted to the
underside (bottom) of the structure to be fogged or laid on the ground pointing up,
or hung from a cable or a two inch pipe with tie-wraps, over rough terrain,
or….wherever. When mounting, keep flexibility a key factor. You may want to
change your mind. Note: When supporting this line of spray nozzles, tie a
support on each side of the nozzle about 3” (8cm) back, allowing room for
change later. Pull the mist line tight as you secure each strap. The unique Push-
Con “T” design allows complete 360 degree adjustability of the spray from each
nozzle independently. Once the pressure is off, the nozzle may be turned to any
angle. To be sure turning doesn’t affect the other nozzles, hold the tubing while
you turn the direction of the nozzle.
• The next step is to run a feed line from the beginning of the mist line using the
remainder of the flexible tubing supplied. Insert the feed line into the Push-con
“out” fitting located on the end of the pump. Run the feed to the origination point
of the mist line, securing the line every two feet (61cm) with the tubing straps. Be
careful not to crimp or twist the line. Trim any excess feed line with the supplied
tubing cutters and insert the feed line, usually 25 – 300ft (9 – 105m) into the first
