How to Measure your Water Filter Tube Size

Water filter tube sizes are always measured by Outside Diameter (ie edge to edge)

Industry-standard water filter tube sizes are:

1/4 inch / 6.4mm - The most common size in the UK
5/16ths inch / 8mm - This is less common. Often used by German manufacturers like Brita
3/8ths inch / 9.6mm - Often used with water filters with “spigots” ie male parts at the inlet / outlet
10mm - Common with American water filters
12mm - Often found with water filter taps

It’s easy to find straight connectors ie to convert one size tube to the other. Checkout our Tube size combinations chart
