This DMFit ARD0506 reducing stem connector is ideal for food/beverage, pneumatic, and water purification systems needing a reliable transition between 3/8" and 5/16" tubing. Its key benefit is the quick, secure push-fit assembly with a unique oval collet, enabling repeated use. A minor consideration is the maximum operating pressure of 10 bar, which must be adhered to for optimal performance and safety.

The maximum operating pressure for the DMFit ARD0506 connector is 10 bar.
It is manufactured from non-toxic acetal copolymer.
No, it is designed specifically for 3/8" OD tubing on the stem side and 5/16" OD tubing on the pushfit side. Ensure tubing is smooth-ended and cut cleanly.
Yes, it meets US FDA, WRAS, ANSI/NSF-51, 61, and SK Zert requirements, making it suitable for potable water and food/beverage applications.
Push the collet collar towards the connector body and simultaneously pull the tube out.
Yes, the unique oval collet design allows for repeated assembly and disassembly.
It can be used with water, food, air, gases, vacuum, and liquids.
Ensure the tube is fully inserted and the end is cut square and free of burrs. Check that the correct tube OD is being used.
Verify the tube is pushed in completely. Inspect the tube end for damage or deformation. Ensure the tube OD is correct for the fitting.
Ensure the collet is being pushed firmly towards the connector body while pulling the tube. Check for debris trapped in the collet mechanism.
Check that the operating pressure does not exceed the 10 bar limit. Ensure the connector is not subjected to excessive external force or impact.
Setup: To connect tubing, simply push the tube end firmly into the appropriate port until it seats fully. The internal collet grips the tube securely. To disconnect, push the collet collar towards the connector body and simultaneously pull the tube out.
Compatibility: This connector is designed for use with smooth-ended, clean-cut 3/8" OD (outer diameter) tubing for the stem side and 5/16" OD tubing for the pushfit side. Ensure tubing material is compatible with the media being conveyed and the operating conditions. Not intended for use with rotating or vibrating applications.
Care: Clean the exterior of the connector with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the acetal copolymer material. Ensure the ends of the tubes being inserted are clean and free from burrs to maintain a proper seal.
