"Appreciate the timelines from the order transaction to delivery. Was able to fix my water system with the part with no troubles and just glad there’s a company that focuses on these type of parts and products because finding them at the local hardware store was definitely not the answer"
"The piece came in the time frame specified. Couldn´t find it anywhere else. Fit perfectly on my connection."
Q:
What sizes does the John Guest CI3212U7S connect?
A:
It connects 3/8-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.
