RO to tank fittings
« on: May 29, 2011, 06:25:36 pm »
I have a tank that has a fittting on that the RO would fill the tank through

It is a grey plastic male connector with a stop valve inside like the one in toilet cisterns, (that make sense)

I want to put a 1/2 inch hose from my di onto it as then it will cut off when full, i dont use an ro

Is there any way of doing this ? Do i need a special female fitting for it as ive been looking on the ro sites and cant find what im after

what fitting have you got on your DI vessell, that is a push fit fitting, cleaning spot sell john guest tubing and various push fit fitting that would allow you to rig somthing up

get the 4th one down in the link, and some 1/4 tubing and it will convert it to a hoselock fitting.

this one

Push-in fitting tube X tube 1/2"

Does that push into the bit on my tank then?

just unscrew the gray fitting on your tank and measure the thread to make sure its the same.
