How To Use These Great Push To Connect Fittings

To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed in by hand; the unique collet locking system then holds the tube firmly in place without deforming the tube or restricting flow.

Start by pushing the tube into the fitting and up to the tube stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. "Do you offer John Guest quick connect fittings in larger sizes?"
A. We do, please view me for larger push fit quick connect fittings.

Q. "I have heard of National Pipe Threads (NPT) but what does 'UNS thread' mean?"
A. UNS stands for "Unified National Special" threads. The 7/16" x 24 threads on the filter faucet connections are a special 1/4" od compression female thread, (same female thread as a brass compression nut). These special fittings are used to attach directly to the male inlet threading on filter faucets that have 1/4" compression inlets.

Q. "What are the locking clips used for?"
A. The locking clips are used for extra protection when a Quick Connect Push-In fitting is used excessively and the tubing is removed and reinserted a lot. The locking clips are to be inserted directly behind the collet.
