FAQs

What material is the DMFit Female Tap Adapter made from?

It is manufactured from grey acetal copolymer, which is a food-grade, non-toxic material suitable for potable liquids and foodstuff applications.

What size BSP thread does this adapter fit?

This adapter has a 3/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) female thread, designed to connect to a 3/4" male BSP fitting.

What size tubing does the push-fit side accept?

The push-fit connector is designed to accept 1/4 inch Outer Diameter (OD) tubing.

Do I need any special tools to install this adapter?

No, typically no special tools are required. You may need plumber's tape for the BSP thread, and the push-fit connection is tool-free.

Can this adapter be used for high-pressure applications?

This adapter is designed for typical domestic water pressures. It is not intended for high-pressure industrial applications. Always check the product's pressure rating if available.

Is this adapter safe for drinking water?

Yes, the acetal copolymer material is food-grade and non-toxic, making it safe for use with potable water.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Ensure the BSP thread is properly prepared (e.g., with PTFE tape) and the adapter is securely fitted. For the push-fit side, ensure the tubing is cut cleanly and pushed in fully until seated.

Troubleshooting

Adapter does not seal on the 3/4" BSP thread.

Ensure the male BSP thread is clean. Apply plumber's tape (PTFE tape) to the male thread before screwing in the adapter. Check that the adapter is screwed in firmly but not overtightened.

1/4" tubing leaks at the push-fit connection.

Make sure the tubing is cut cleanly and squarely. Ensure the tubing is pushed in fully until it seats. If the tubing is damaged or old, try using a new piece of tubing.

Difficulty connecting or disconnecting 1/4" tubing.

Ensure the tubing end is clean and not deformed. For disconnection, make sure to press the blue collar inwards completely before pulling the tube.

Water flow is restricted.

Check that the tubing is not kinked or bent sharply. Ensure the adapter is fully seated and not partially blocked. Verify the upstream water source pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Food-grade and non-toxic material suitable for potable water.
  • Easy and tool-free connection with push-fit technology.
  • Durable acetal copolymer construction ensures longevity.
  • Secure connection to standard 3/4" BSP threaded outlets.
  • Compact and efficient design.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 3/4" BSP male threads.
  • Requires 1/4" OD tubing for the push-fit side.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications beyond its design limits.
  • May require sealant on the BSP threads for optimal sealing in some installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 3/4" BSP male thread on your tap or fixture is clean and free from debris.
  2. For BSP threads, it is recommended to wrap the male thread with plumber's tape (PTFE tape) for an optimal seal, though not always strictly necessary depending on the fit.
  3. Screw the DMFit Female Tap Adapter onto the 3/4" BSP male thread clockwise until snug. Avoid overtightening.
  4. Take your 1/4" OD (Outer Diameter) tubing and ensure the end is cut cleanly and squarely.
  5. Firmly push the 1/4" tube into the push-fit connector on the adapter until it is fully seated. You should feel a slight resistance as it locks into place.
  6. To disconnect, press the blue collar of the push-fit connector inwards while simultaneously pulling the tube out.

Compatibility:

  • This adapter is specifically designed for 3/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) male threads on one end.
  • The other end is compatible with 1/4" OD (Outer Diameter) tubing typically used in water filtration and dispensing systems.
  • It is suitable for use with potable water and food-grade applications.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the adapter and connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
  • Clean the exterior of the adapter with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the acetal copolymer.
  • Ensure the tubing is properly seated to prevent leaks.
