Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

What sizes does the John Guest CI3208U7S connect?

A:

It connects 1/4-inch OD tubing to a 7/16-24 UNS female thread used on compatible filtered-water faucets.

Q:

Is the 7/16-inch thread an NPT pipe thread?

A:

No. It is a 7/16-24 UNS straight thread associated with a 1/4-inch compression-style faucet connection. Do not substitute a 7/16-inch pipe fitting.

Q:

What tubing can be used with the quick-connect side?

A:

Use compatible plastic or copper OD tubing in the stated size, within the tubing and fitting pressure and temperature limits.

Q:

How do I prevent a leak at the faucet thread?

A:

Confirm the faucet stem uses the matching thread and sealing method, start the nut squarely by hand, and do not overtighten the acetal fitting.

Q:

How is the tube inserted and removed?

A:

Cut it square, push fully to the stop, and tug to check engagement. To remove it, depressurize, press the collet inward evenly, and pull the tube straight out.

Q:

What approvals and pressure limits apply?

A:

John Guest lists NSF 51 and NSF 61 for this fitting family. For 1/4-inch size it lists up to 230 psi at 68°F and 150 psi at 150°F; the 3/8-inch size is listed up to 150 psi at 68°F and 100 psi at 150°F.
