Mur-lok Or John Guest Fittings...

[Quartapound]

Hey guys,

I was changing out my RO membrane today when the RO cartridge holder rolled and fell off the table ... snapping off one of the push connect fittings.

I'd like to get this thing up and running again ASAP.

Part I need :

John Guest fitting
Rigid Elbow – Nptf Thread
Part No. TUBE OD THREAD NPTF
PP480821W 1/4" 1/8"

or

G.A. Murdock ( Mur-Lok fitting)
Item Number Mur-lok Thread
P0420216 1/4" 1/8" Male NPTF

or

Watts Canada
Item number
PI480821S 1/4 in. x 1/8 in. (tube x thread)


BRS seems to be the only place I can find these things (I have a BRS 5 stage RODI system)

Does anyone else have any better ideas? Very annoyed with myself at the moment.

if it's the end with 2 fittings then one is a check valve I believe

it was on that end, luckily not the one with the check valve, it was the waste line (which has no check valve).

Check out elmira fish farm. They usually have all the fittings in stock.

That's good to know (I'm sure they've got the rare stuff) ... I actually DID find the fitting I needed at Lowes!! Kinda surprised they stocked it, I'm up and running again!

Murlok and JG are by far superior. BRS has some videos discussing different push fittings, and in many others they make random comments, that they do not suggest anything other than them, that they can be quite prone to leaks. Personally I'd use this as a temp if you need to be up and running quickly and get a better one when you can. Such an inexpensive part to risk a leak if you ask me.
