Tap connector?
« on: August 15, 2010, 11:17:26 am »
Does anyone recommend a good tap connector for my RO feed?

I had one from RO Man and after 3 weeks it's split, so water going everywhere.

What does everyone else use?

Well thanks for all the help...

Every person on here who makes pure water uses a connection to a tap, and only one person is good enough to even reply. ::)

Im not sure if the one at the bottom of the page on this link will be any good?

Its a Hoselock fitting with a 6mm barbed end.
Might be worth giving Gardiners a ring to see if it will do the job for you

Rodger, you need one of these,

then a short length of hose with female hoselock connectors on each end.

Or this one if you can't wait for him to re-open his shop.

I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

Thanks Mike, but that's nothing to do with it!

I've got a perfectly good hoselock connection.
I'm talking about hoselock to quarter inch, which you'd still need anyway!
