Questions & Answers
15Questions20Answers
It doesn't look like the picture is correct. Isn't that a 3/8 MIP adaptor?
Asked by HDNickname June 30, 20201
AnswerThe picture is of the correct fitting, type MIP x Comp. We will update the website with a picture that shows the Comp vs MIP ratio more clearly. Thank you for your feedback.
Can you use this on a gas dryer
Asked by Bones March 24, 20201
AnswerThe compression side is designed to work with softer metal (copper) and vinyl piping, both of which are not appropriate for use in Natural gas applications. We would recommend consulting a licensed plumber who knows local code to identify the proper method for completing the connection.
what does MIP mean
Asked by bud March 13, 20202
AnswersMIP means Male Iron Pipe Threaded.
So if we are inserting OD 1/4" copper tubing into the compression side (with the insert)...
Asked by Tyler January 26, 20201
AnswerThe insert is only for non-rigid tubing such as vinyl. If the pipe thread is the SS that is fine, but if it is 1/4” SS tubing it will most likely leak, as the brass ferrule will deform before the SS tubing.
Is the 1/4" end 1/4" NPT? And the 1/8" end for 1/8" copper tubing (i.e. 1/4" OD tubing)?
Asked by Customer January 12, 20201
AnswerFor this fitting: 1/4” comp and 1/8” MIP
Will the 1/4 thread accept an ice maker hose connection
Asked by Marty June 8, 20191
AnswerThe 1/4” Compression fitting will fit 1/4” OD plastic or copper tubing. Compression insert is recommended for nonmetallic tubing. Be sure to not overtighten connection to prevent leaks.
Is this adapter safe enough ( health wise ) to be used as connector for inline refrigerator filter ?
Asked by Raji April 26, 20191
AnswerThis compression adapter can be used with plastic tube if the adapter connection can be fit to each other.
Is this safe to use on a kitchen sink for drinking water/dishes?
Asked by Joey April 6, 20195
AnswersYes, no one sells brass fittings in the USA with lead in them anymore
what is the maximum psi that this fitting is rated for?
Asked by rkw January 29, 20195
AnswersRated for 400psi
Is the 1/2" compression end O.D. or I.D?
Asked by Charlie January 24, 20192
Answers1/2 Tubing fittings are I.D. Pipe is different

This is the third time I’ve purchased Everbilt 1/4 inch straight or elbow compression fittings. One feature I like is that the collar and compression nut are pre-mounted. I’ve lost too many collars to count. With Everbilt, the collars can’t be lost/misplaced.

This got the job done. I was replacing a kitchen faucet at night and during the final steps of installation noticed that the connection from my PEX pipe (1/2 in.) didn't fit my new connectors from the faucet (3/8 in.). Feeling frustrated, I headed off to a "blue-colored" competitor. The associate told me exactly what I needed, but they were all out. He was nice enough to pull up a picture of the exact part I needed and send me on my way, as I told him I was headed to his "orange" competitor. Arriving at HD just before closing, I showed the pic to an associate, and he found it right away. Back home, I installed the adapter in seconds to finish the faucet installation. No leaks!
I thought the price seemed a little high for 2 adapters, but I'm no plumber, and given my situation, I couldn't be picky.

Two issues, purchased an expensive faucet from HD and I believe the fittings should have been included with the faucet. When trying to use these fittings they had not been deburred. They would have cut they the rubber gaskets in both the hoses and the faucet ends. Put them in the lathe and deburred and then they worked fine.
