Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installation, shut down the chemical feeder and relieve system pressure. Remove the old tubing and inspect connection fittings and clamps. Install the R172269 tube by cutting to length as needed, ensuring clean ends, and securely inserting into the feeder outlet and feeder head or chemical reservoir port. Tighten clamps as required, purge the tubing of air, and resume operation. Monitor system feed to confirm proper chemical delivery and no leaks or air ingress.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect tubing annually for signs of cracking, discoloration, or stiffness. Replace if any damage is found.
- If chemical feed rates become inconsistent or intermittent, check for blocked or collapsed tubing before other system components.
- Keep spare tubing in service inventory — a quick replacement of tubing often prevents longer downtime in feeder servicing.
