Description
INS14 hose insert is a practical reinforcing sleeve for 1/4-inch tubing, used inside the hose to stiffen its walls at threaded connections. The element helps reduce the risk of the tubing being pinched during tightening of JACO fittings, thereby supporting the durability and leak-tightness of installations used, among others, in solutions such as water filter, water filtration system, reverse osmosis filter or reverse osmosis system. The product is intended exclusively for threaded fittings and should not be used with JG quick-connect fittings.

Reinforcing insert for 1/4-inch tubing
INS14 is a small but very important installation component that increases the resistance of 1/4-inch tubing to deformation at the connection point. After the sleeve is placed inside the hose, the tubing walls are reinforced, which helps maintain the proper shape while tightening the connection.
This solution is particularly important in water installations, where connection stability and proper operation of the entire system matter. The insert is suitable for many applications related to water treatment and the installation of 1/4-inch tubing.
What is INS14 used for?
The main task of the INS14 insert is to reinforce the walls of 1/4-inch tubing from the inside. As a result, the tubing is better protected against kinking during tightening of connections in JACO-type fittings.
- reinforces the walls of 1/4-inch tubing,
- helps protect the tubing against kinking,
- supports proper installation of threaded connections,
- makes it easier to create a stable connection in water installations.
Application
The insert can be used wherever 1/4-inch tubing and JACO-type threaded fittings are used. This solution is found in installations used by a water filter, osmosis filter, reverse osmosis system and other water treatment systems.
If the connection requires tightening and there is a risk of tubing deformation, using a reinforcing sleeve helps better protect the installation point.
Installation and important usage information
INS14 is installed inside the hose. Its role is to stiffen the end of the tubing before making the threaded connection. This means that during fitting tightening, the tubing is better supported from the inside.
Important: the INS14 insert is intended exclusively for JACO-type threaded fittings. It should not be used with JG fittings, i.e. quick-connect fittings.
To achieve the correct effect, the insert should be matched to tubing of the appropriate size and used as intended. In this case, the product is designed for 1/4-inch tubing.
Why choose this reinforcing sleeve?
Although it is a small component, it has a real impact on connection quality. In installations where thin tubing is used, protection against kinking during tightening can improve operational safety and reduce the risk of problems caused by hose deformation.
- designed for 1/4-inch tubing,
- installed inside the hose,
- protection against kinking during tightening,
- compatible with use in JACO-type threaded fittings,
- not suitable for JG-type quick-connect fittings.

Questions
What is the INS14 insert used for?
INS14 is used to reinforce the walls of 1/4-inch tubing from the inside. Its purpose is to help protect the tubing against kinking during connection tightening.
What tubing size does this product fit?
The insert is designed for tubing with a diameter of 1/4 inch.
Is INS14 mounted outside or inside the tubing?
The product is installed inside the hose. This is how it reinforces the tubing walls at the connection point.
Does the INS14 insert fit JACO fittings?
Yes, INS14 is designed for use with JACO-type threaded fittings.
Can this insert be used with JG quick-connect fittings?
No. This model should not be used with JG fittings, i.e. quick-connect fittings.
In which systems can such a sleeve be used?
The insert can be used in installations based on 1/4-inch tubing and threaded connections, including systems such as a water filter, reverse osmosis filter, osmosis filter or water filtration system.
What benefit does using a reinforcing insert provide?
The main benefit is stiffening the end of the tubing and reducing the risk of it being pinched during connection tightening, which helps achieve a more stable installation.
Is INS14 a consumable filter cartridge element?
No, it is not a filter cartridge. INS14 is an installation component designed to reinforce tubing in an installation.
