Water Filtration System - Quick Connect Fittings

The Quick Connect fittings, also known as Push to Connect fittings, are used in many of our water filtration products.

Understanding the Use of Quick Connect Fittings with a Water Filtration System

The Quick Connect fittings work by having a one way locking ring with small metal teeth that grip on the outside diameter of the tubing. The tube is inserted through a tight fitting o-ring to prevent leaks and the metal teeth hold it into place. The connections are tested for pull out force and typically require some force to pull out without pushing in the collet, so it would be very difficult to do on accident. The collet works by pushing the teeth out of place and allowing the tubing to easily slide out.

Note: The tubing should last the life of the system. However it should be kept away from any hot air sources to prevent potential embrittlement. Typically this isn't an issue for under the sink applications.
