[C320-list] 15MM to 1/2 inch fresh water fitting

[Morey Waltuck]

I have Cat #352 and I assume you have the semi-rigid red and blue piping 
system that I have.  Yes, I pop off the cap with a thin screwdriver and then 
remove the "C" shaped collar.  Then push in the flange and the pipe should 
come out.  To reinstall reverse the procedure.  That is, with the flange 
pushed in, insert the pipe and then install the collar which will push the 
flange out.  Don't forget to put the cap on the pipe first or you will have 
to take the pipe out again just to slide the cap back on.
