1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  If your current tubing has female compression ends they will thread onto the fitting directly. If they do not have female compression ends and are bare tubes you would use the nut to compress the ferule onto the tube. Compression fittings grab the outside of the tubing so the measurement they fit will be the outside diameter of the tube. If you have to use the nut and ferrule please note they are one time use fittings and if you over tighten them you have to cut them off and use a new ferrule. Best practice is to tighten compression fittings by hand then add 1/4” turn with a wrench. Turn on the water supply slowly and then tighten the fitting with a wrench until it stops leaking. That will ensure it is tight enough to seal without overtightening.

    Q:Can this be used to couple a 1/4in braided icemaker line to another?

    Answer This Question

    A:  This is for a plastic ice maker line, not braided.

      A:  The 1/4 in. OD Compression Brass Coupling Fitting can be used to attach two 1/4” lines together as long as they have 1/4” female compression ends.

      by|May 3, 2021

        A:  No, the Outside diameter of a copper tube that you would put this compression fitting on it’s different than the outside diameter of a plastic tube. Therefore, the feral would not compress around the outside of the plastic tube and would not give you a tight leak proof connection.

          by|Mar 5, 2021
          1 Answer
          Answer This Question

          A:  In order to properly respond to this question we would need additional information. We would need to know what size tube was being used with the fitting. In order to get a complete response, please reach out to Customer Care and they can put you in touch with the manufacturer.

            Q:Does the compression sleeve (ring) come with this or is it not needed?
            by|Jan 20, 2021
            2 Answers
            Answer This Question

            A:  The small brass male piece is the sleeve you insert into what you are connecting. This keeps the plastic hose from collapsing, when you tighten the fitting nuts. Hope this helps.

            by|Jan 22, 2021

            A:  The 1/4 in. OD Compression Brass Coupling Fitting comes with 2 nuts with captured “rings”, one for each side.

              I used this coupler to connect my 1/4” plastic water tube from my refrigerator to under my kitchen sink. Super easy assembly and not a single drip.

              These do no work with copper ¼" OD tubing. I incrementally torqued these couplings as hard I could (to the point the wrench was rounding off the nut) and I could not get them to seal. In fact, the ¼” OD copper tubing would rotate in the ferrule after it was torqued. Upon further inspection the ferrules are not designed like traditional ferrules. These ones are “captured” in the nut and there is an extra ring of brass around the ferrule to maintain the “capturing” feature. This extra ring on the ferrule is preventing it from properly squeezing down on the tube. I’m returning these and getting a traditional set with a loose ferrule.

                I was actually in need of a 1/4 compression and other 1/4 connectors but the shelves were empty and quite disorganized . I also realize that it is an area that is difficult to keep organized consistently. Customers do not return items to their proper place .
