How do I assemble the Automatic Watering System (AWS) tubing & connectors?Updated a year ago

If you're having trouble attaching the AWS tubing to the connector, please try the following methods.

  • Use a non-petroleum-based product, such as silicone grease, to make it easier to assemble.
    • DO NOT use petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline®) or other oils.
  • Use a heat source like a lighter or heat gun on the ends of the tubing to soften it up before pushing it onto the connectors.
    • Tip: If you don't have one of those, try pouring or soaking the end of the tubing in hot water.
  • Use latex or nitrile gloves for added grip to push the tubing onto the connectors.
