A-AF-UE-0604-QC 3/8" QC x 1/4" QC reducing quick connector for water filtration systems with 3/8" PE tubing. Provides a simple transition to a 1/4" connection and secure fitting with a locking clip.
Description
A-AF-UE-0604-QC 3/8" QC x 1/4" QC reducing connector is a practical quick connector for water filtration systems using 3/8" PE tubing, approximately 10 mm in diameter. It provides a convenient connection between 3/8" and 1/4" JG-type quick fittings, making it suitable for selected reverse osmosis systems, industrial RO filters and equipment requiring a reduction between common tubing diameters.
A-AF-UE-0604-QC reducing connector
The A-AF-UE-0604-QC reducing connector is used wherever 3/8" PE tubing and JG-type quick fittings are employed. This small but important installation component provides a secure, convenient connection between tubing of different diameters.
The 3/8" QC x 1/4" QC model reduces a larger 3/8" connection to a smaller 1/4" connection, making it useful for upgrading, servicing or extending water filtration systems.
Important compatibility information
A-AF connectors are used in systems with 3/8" PE tubing, approximately 10 mm in diameter. Before purchase, check the tubing diameter and connection type in your equipment, as the vast majority of popular filters use smaller 1/4" connectors with tubing approximately 6.4 mm in diameter.
Example applications
This connector type is found in selected filtration and reverse osmosis systems that use 3/8" PE tubing on the supply side or in specific sections of the installation.
- AQUAPHOR MORION — supply tubing.
- GE MERLIN.
- NANOPAD — supply tubing.
- USTM SILVER — supply tubing.
- Industrial RO filters — depending on the model.
Key benefits of the connector
- Reduces a 3/8" JG-type quick connection to a 1/4" JG-type connection.
- Designed for installations with 3/8" PE tubing, approximately 10 mm in diameter.
- Makes it easier to connect filtration system components of different diameters.
- Suitable for selected reverse osmosis systems and industrial RO filters.
- Quick, convenient installation without complex tools.
- A locking clip is included.
- Suitable for use with water at 2–42 °C.
3/8" QC x 1/4" QC quick connector
The connector is designed as a reducer for QC connections. Its 3/8" JG-type x 1/4" JG-type size allows tubing used in water filtration systems to be connected where a transition between two standard diameters is needed.
The quick-connect design makes installation simple. The included locking clip improves connection stability and reduces the risk of accidental tubing release.
Before installation, check that the system uses 3/8" PE tubing on the side where the connector will be fitted. Systems using only 1/4" tubing require connectors in the appropriate smaller size.
