It is a staple in residential filtration and reverse osmosis plumbing, where so many components present a tapped inlet or outlet that has to mate with flexible tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne end is a John Guest push-in collet that accepts 3\/8\" tubing and seals it with an internal O-ring the moment the tube is inserted. The other end is a 1\/4\" MIPT thread that screws into a tapped port. This combination lets you transition between flexible tubing and rigid threaded connections in a single fitting, avoiding the stacked adapters that add height, cost, and extra leak points to a build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: Tube x MIPT in a single straight body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteps 3\/8\" tubing down to a 1\/4\" male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolypropylene build resists corrosion and won't scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-fit tube side assembles in seconds, no tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemountable for clean servicing of treatment equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable across repairs and reconfigurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMale connectors are among the most-used fittings in any water treatment build precisely because threaded ports are everywhere. To install, wrap the 1\/4\" thread with PTFE tape, hand-tighten it into the port and snug it just past finger-tight, then cut your 3\/8\" tube square and free of burrs and push it fully into the collet until it bottoms out. A gentle tug confirms the grip, and the O-ring seals the joint automatically. When the line needs servicing, depress the collet and the tube slides free undamaged. The corrosion-resistant polypropylene body holds up to years of contact with treated water without scaling or rusting. For a secure, leak-free junction between tubing and the threaded hardware of your John Guest filtration system, this reducing male connector delivers reliable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeeping a few of these connectors in stock covers a wide range of hookups, since stepping 3\/8\" tubing into a 1\/4\" threaded port is one of the most common transitions in point-of-use systems. Paired with the rest of the John Guest range, it lets you build a complete filtration or RO layout from interchangeable push-fit parts that all assemble and release the same simple way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reliance Worldwide Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668821368885,"sku":"JG0302MC","price":5.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/jg0302mc.jpg?v=1782534533","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/es\/products\/guest-3-8x1-4-m-conn","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
