"Ok"
"Our RO was failing fast and we were delaying fixing it in order to get a quote for new softener and RO systems (way too pricey.) When we had green light to fix it, we ordered new tank, new RO membrane and locking clips. Still needed about 5 feet of tubing (ESP offered 500 feet) and a tee (ESP had different tees) to stop a leak but found the right specs at local hardware store. My order total was just under qualifying for free shipping, so I paid for standard shipping, expecting the order 2 days later. It came the next day! Even though they don't offer shorter or custom lengths of tubing, we were able to do enough research to know what we needed. Very helpful search tool and website. So glad for RO tank specs. That helped us choose the right tank to replace our rusted tank from the leak. Wish we had figured out how to stop the leak right away. DIY is worth it when your water specialist abandons you! ESP has what we need to maintain our 8 yr old Proline Plus RO."
Q:
What does the PIC1812R locking clip do?
A:
It slides under the collet of a compatible John Guest push-fit connection to help prevent the collet from being pressed accidentally and releasing the tube.
Q:
What tubing size fits the PIC1812R?
A:
It is sized for a 3/8-inch John Guest standard-technology fitting. The size refers to tubing outside diameter.
Q:
Does the locking clip seal the connection?
A:
No. The fitting's internal O-ring makes the seal. The clip secures the collet after the tube has been inserted fully.
Q:
How is the clip installed?
A:
Push the tube fully into the fitting, pull gently to verify engagement, then slide the clip into the gap between the collet and fitting body.
Q:
Can the PIC1812R be removed and reused?
A:
Yes, if it is undamaged. Depressurize the line, remove the clip, press the collet, and pull the tube out according to John Guest instructions.
Q:
Can I use a 1/4-inch clip on a 3/8-inch fitting?
A:
No. Locking clips are size-specific. Select PIC1808R for 1/4-inch fittings and PIC1812R for 3/8-inch fittings.
