💡 How to Use This Chart:

1. Are you using a “Push-In” (Quick-Connect) Fitting?

Look at the OD (Outside Diameter). The tube must match the fitting size exactly.

  • Warning: A 1/4″ (6.35mm) tube will not fit correctly into a 6mm Metric fitting. They look similar but will leak!

2. Are you using a “Barbed” (Hose-Tail) Fitting?

Look at the ID (Inside Diameter). The “hole” of the tube must stretch over the ridges of the barb.

  • Pro-Tip: If the fit is tight, dip the end of the tube in hot water for 30 seconds to soften the plastic before pushing it onto the barb.

3. Are you using a “Jaco” (Compression) Fitting?

These fittings use a nut and a small plastic sleeve (ferrule). You must match the OD of the tube to the nut size. These are most common on Brine Tanks and older RO systems.

Description

  • ⅜” Reverse Osmosis Tubing (White)

    • Size: 3/8″ OD (9.52mm)

    • Material: Food-Grade LLDPE

    • Description: A high-flow alternative to standard tubing. The larger diameter significantly reduces friction loss, allowing water to travel faster over longer distances.

    • Applications: Connecting storage tanks to faucets for a faster “pour,” or feeding high-output coffee machines and fridges.

    • Benefits: Delivers up to 50% more water volume per minute than 1/4″ tubing.

  • Size: 3/8″ OD (9.5mm)

  • Description: High-flow tubing for large systems or long-distance runs.

  • Best For: High-GPD systems (400+) and connections between tanks and faucets for increased flow rate.

    Standard LLDPE semi-rigid tubing for push-fit connections.

    SKU Size (OD) Color Best Application
    1128 1/4″ (6.35mm) White Standard RO systems, fridge water lines, and undersink filters.
    1129 3/8″ (9.5mm) White High-flow systems (400GPD+), long distance runs, and commercial coffee machines.
