Turn the delivery unit completely off before beginning any installation work. This critical safety step prevents accidental handpiece activation during the installation process and protects both the technician and the equipment from potential damage. Ensure all air pressure is released from the system before proceeding.

Carefully note where each line of your existing wet/dry foot control is connected before disconnecting anything. Take photographs or create a detailed diagram showing which tubing connects to which port in the junction box and delivery unit. This documentation is invaluable for ensuring correct reconnection and troubleshooting any issues that may arise during installation.

Split the foot control tubing into separate lines, carefully trimming any excess length with a sharp knife to achieve clean, square cuts. Avoid ragged edges that could interfere with proper sealing. Measure carefully to ensure adequate length for routing while minimizing excess that could kink or create clutter in the operatory.

The large ribbed tubing connects to the source of air in the junction box. The large non-ribbed tubing connects to the unit for drive air delivery. The two small tubings connect to the unit for air coolant and an air signal to activate the water coolant. Proper identification of each line is critical for correct system operation.

Begin by connecting the large ribbed and non-ribbed tubings to their respective ports. Ensure secure connections that won't leak under pressure. These primary air lines must be correctly connected for the system to function properly. Double-check that the ribbed tubing connects to the air source and the non-ribbed to the drive air port.

Before permanently connecting the small tubings, verify which relates to which function by activating with the unit on. Normally, the toggled tubing is on the same side as the toggle switch, but configurations may vary. Test each connection to ensure proper function assignment before final installation.

Apply liquid soap to foot control tubings to facilitate installation. Slip sleeve clamps over tubings approximately 3/8 inch from the end, with the internal bevel facing the barb. The soap lubrication makes installation significantly easier and reduces the risk of damaging barbs. Slip the tubing over the barb, then lock in place by sliding the sleeve clamp over the tubing portion on the barb using pliers or a sleeve tool.

Turn your delivery system on to test for leaks and proper function. Activate the foot control through its full range of motion, testing both variable speed operation and water toggle function. Listen for any air leaks and verify that all functions respond correctly. Check that water coolant activates properly when the toggle is engaged and that speed control is smooth and responsive throughout the range.

When replacing your A-dec style wet/dry foot control, take care not to break barbs when installing tubings and clamps. Inserting tubing ends in hot water will further aid this process by making the tubing more pliable and easier to install. If the foot control produces a hissing sound before activation, the large tubings are hooked up in reverse and should be swapped to correct the issue.
