MALIDA Quick Connector Female Thread Adapter Elbow and Straight Combination, 1/2 Inch Thread x 1/4 Inch Tube OD Push to Connect Fittings, for Water Filter purification systems.(pack of 10)

Great set of fittings for a low price. Just one of these at a local hardware store costs as much as this whole pack!

TLDR: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Misunderstanding on my part regarding fitting compatibility, but the MALIDA Quick Connectors are highly effective based on tests and reviews. I recently purchased MALIDA Quick Connector Female Thread Adapter Elbow and Straight Combination (1/4 Inch NPT Thread x 3/8 Inch Tube OD) for my water filter purification system. Initially, I faced a compatibility issue, which I realized was due to a misunderstanding on my part. These connectors are designed for normal fittings and not for compression fittings, which was the requirement for my setup. Despite this mix-up, I have reason to believe in their effectiveness. A co-worker had used similar connectors from MALIDA before I got mine, and their performance was commendable. They provided a really good seal, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection, which is crucial for any water purification system. Based on this experience and other positive reviews, it’s clear that these connectors work well when used with the correct fittings. Their suitability for standard threaded fittings makes them a reliable choice for many applications. So, while they didn't fit my specific needs due to my oversight, the MALIDA Quick Connectors seem to be a solid choice for those with compatible systems.

I'm using this for a very "off label" use case: I needed to adapt from 1/2" NPT to 1/4 tubing for my drip irrigation system, and this item fit the bill. So far it has been buried for about 1 month and the system is still working alright. I do find that the threads do not bite in quite like a usual NPT would, but there is a face seal that does seem to work well at forming a water tight seal.

Increíble como estos inventos, resuelven trabajos que parecen complicados, debí comprar antes…

I got these to work with a larger float valve and they did the trick.

Work like they should

High quality fittings and a must have to install a RO system.

Usado para Sistema de riego en mi Jardin...pasar de sprinkler a goteo muy facil

The product description is wrong---the female thread is not 3/8 NPT, it's greater than that. Complete waste of time--I now have to return and try to find an item with the correct measurements. Furthermore, the item was shipped by Canada Post but I can only return it free using UPS. I live in a location without UPS service so--Catch 22.
