Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting safe for drinking water?

Yes, it complies with WRAS and ANSI/NSF-61 standards, making it fully suitable for potable water systems.

Can I use this with metal tubing?

It is designed for use with plastic tubing such as LLDPE or semi-rigid nylon. Using metal tubing may damage the internal O-ring seal.

Does it need a tool to disconnect?

No, it is a tool-free fitting. You only need to push the collet inward to release the locking teeth.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

Performance ratings vary by tube type and temperature; please refer to the specific John Guest technical data sheet for your tubing size.

Can I reuse the fitting?

Yes, the fitting is designed to be disassembled and reassembled multiple times without losing its sealing integrity.

Troubleshooting

The connection is leaking at the tube insertion point

Remove the tube, check that the end is cut square and is free of scratches or burrs, then re-insert firmly.

The tube will not release from the fitting

Ensure the collet is pushed in evenly and uniformly around the circumference of the tube before pulling.

The male thread is leaking

Check if the connection was cross-threaded during installation; apply PTFE tape to the male threads if leakage persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation saves significant time
  • High-quality, food-grade materials ensure safe use in potable water lines
  • Versatile design works well in both pneumatic and fluid systems
  • Repeatable connections allow for system maintenance and adjustments

Cons

  • Requires perfectly square tube cuts for optimal sealing
  • Not intended for high-temperature steam applications
  • Plastic threads require careful handling to prevent cross-threading

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely using a plastic pipe cutter. Insert the tube firmly into the pushfit end until you feel it pass the O-ring and seat against the internal tube stop. When attaching the male BSP end to your threaded port, use appropriate thread seal tape if required by the application. For maintenance, keep the fitting clean of debris. If the fitting must be disconnected, depress the collet evenly while pulling the tube out. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior; simple warm water or a damp cloth is sufficient.
