The housing ports are 1/4 inch male NPTF screwthreads to 1/4 inch female pushfit

Different Tube Sizes?

This unit comes with 1/4 inch tubing - which is the UK standard.

If you have a different tube size - eg if you want to connect to a different tap - you can adapt this housing to different tube sizes as follows.

Please note all sizes are OD / Outside Diameter of the tube ie you simply measure edge to edge).

8mm - 5/16s Tubing. This is a "straight connector" that converts the 1/4 inch tube to your 8mm tubing More info

9.6mm - 3/8ths Tubing The housing ports can also accept 9.6mm tubing so you simply remove the 1/4 inch adapters

10mm Tubing This is a "straight connector" combination that converts the 1/4 inch tube up to your 10mm tubing More info

12mm Tubing This is a "straight connector" combination that converts the 1/4 inch tube up to your 12mm tubing More info

15mm Tubing For 15mm tubing you should get this 15mm housing instead

What's not included

Please note: This system does not come with a cartridge. And it assumes you already have a tap and connection to the water supply. And that you have tubing (we do supply about 12 inches of tube, as a courtesy, but not the full length). So if you don't have these please check this equivalent complete unit or you can find extra parts in our accessories .

What Type of Plastic is this Housing Made From?

These housing units are made of PolyPropylene (PP).

If you're concerned about plastics - we think you're right to be.

Plastics like BPA's (often found in food and water containers) and Phthalates (in PVC products etc) are linked to cancers, fertility problems, obesity, hormone / endocrine disruption and God knows what else.

The problem is they leach into the food or liquid they're holding.

However PolyPropolene (ie our housings) does not contain BPA's or Phthalates. and is thought to be much safer because it doesn't leach chemicals like some other plastics do.

PolyPropolene is one of the oldest and most commonly plastics with no known negative health effects after seventy years in widespread use (Sources: ESIS – European Chemical Substances Information - and the Hazardous Substance Data Bank (USA).

Super easy to fit and performs well". Independent Review by Kenneth Mackenzie
