The tubes are just that, tubes. I set up my tubes the way I wanted and over time they will straighten out. Even with curve, I have not noticed any issue with flow.

hi, wat i did was run it with a hot water (high flow) from the faucet until it softens just right, rolled it back against its coil and stretching it hardly. Make sure to cut the tubes on the proper length that you only need with just enough allowance (a little about 5 inches or less). Mine now looks a little curved but just right for the canister to operate (priming is easier now, water flow intake and outtake function).

Check out your tube. They have better instructions. Search decal application.

I had the same issue. You just have to twist them pretty hard to the degree you need.

You should always install a new tube with a new tire. That is the the way I have always done it.

I move the tube insertion shorter or back until it stopped. It was more of a vacuum problem I think.

You have to screw them on counterclockwise, pull the black pipe out about 6 inches, then screw on the connector in the direction of the arrows on the connector. It took me a few tries but I am a pro at them now.

Mine is straight. I think the 90 degree is an optional accessory with a valve lock. Not included in this package.

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.

I had the same difficulty. See the following works for you. 1) The connecting tubes has to be shortest possible from the inlets to the Canister. It should not be looping etc. I cut the tubes, so that they are straight. 2) Try switching the IN and Out tubes on the Canister. 3) Make sure the Canister cap is tight. No air or water leaking.

If you have room in front of you rad. Make sure that the line have room, look on blogs for your Vec. to see if some on has installed it or something like it. You can also look up on y-tube and some one my have all ready done the install.

Make sure the small white tube is lined up with the opening. It should flow over the side but not too strong.

Hmm. I had to have the supply line from the LP tank. Perhaps "installation materials" includes whatever tools you need to cut a hole through the wall to install the intake/exhaust tubes? From my end, everything was supplied that I anticipated. I poked my own copper supply tube through the wall, with appropriate fitting, and connected the sucker. Works just fine.

Mine were straight, but they came in computer cable packaging so I sent them back. Maybe the curved ones are actually food safe.

It's straight, but my rims are offset and it works perfectly fine. Just remember to inflate after mounting, then deflate -completely- (remove valve core) so tube can move inside tire and assume the offset position. Then reinflate and you're done.

Not sure I bought some straight ones and curled ones, sorry I can't be anymore help .

Check the washers inside the anti-syphon and reducing valve. The one with the mesh may be clogged or twisted to block proper flow. I had a problem that they didn't seat properly and caused reduced flow. Also, if you run one head to the next using the 1/4" tubing, you will not get good flow on that line or lines. I took these out and ran direct runs from the 1/2" tube directly to each head.
