This is the reducing fitting where 1\/4 inch tubing meets 3\/8 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePush fit connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeedfit fittings need no tools, no clamps and no solvent. The tube is cut square and pushed in until it seats, and an internal collet grips it. That simplicity is also the reason they are worth keeping spares of: collets lose their bite over time and with chemical exposure, and a fitting that has stopped gripping will drip or draw air into the sample line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are sold singly, so count the fittings on the job before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628844363988,"sku":"HAY-451-2023","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/CAX20253_hayward.jpg?v=1788755184","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/hayward-cax-20253-1-4-inch-by-3-8-inch-speedfit-connector-replacement-for-hayward-cat-1000-monitors","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
