                  Q:how to take old tubing out and put new line and can it be taking a parted ?

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  The old tubing can be removed and new tubing installed. If there is a retaining clip where the tubing enters the connector the clip must be carefully removed by sliding It off. Next the sleeve the tubing goes into must be held tightly against the body of the connector while the tubing is pulled away from the connector. When the new tubing is Installed make sure to push it into the connector with enough force to insure the tubing is fully seated. Re instal The retaining clip if one was used. Turn on the water and check for leaks. If the tubing was fully seated there should not be any leaks.
