    Q:Do you need to use brass sleeves in the 1/4 lines that are being joined or is there no worry of it collapsing? I know when you use compression fitting you have to use the brass sleeve otherwise it will collapse in on itself.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi, The John Guest 5/16 in. O.D. x 5/16 in. O.D. NPTF Polypropylene Push-to-Connect Coupling is measured with an (OD) measurement because it is used with tubing that is measured in (OD) measurements. The (ID) measurement is typically an 1/8" smaller then the (OD) measurement. If you would like help selecting the correct product for your application you can call tech support at 877-700-4242. (Kind regards,)
