WORKING WITH

PLASTIC TUBING

Cutting the Tubing

Before you cut a length of tube, accurately measure the

length you need. Allow 5/8” of tubing for inserting into

fittings and 1 ½” for placing into flexible tubing. Cut the

plastic tubing with a hacksaw, making sure that the cut is

exactly square. (You can use a tube cutter if one is

available.) Use wire cutters or tin snips to cut flexible

tubing. The 8” lengths of flexible tubing supplied with each

inlet should not be cut. See Figure 4.

Use a small knife to remove any burrs from the inside of the

tube. You can also use steel wool to remove burrs. The burrs

must be removed or they may impede air flow of form clogs

by snagging hair and carpet thread. See Figure 5.

Next, use a file to slightly bevel the outside of the tube so

that it will easily slide into the fitting. Use steel wool or a light

grained sandpaper to buff the surface of the tube which will

be glued. This will clean the tube and assure a good seal.
