What This Fitting Does

This union connects two pieces of 1/4″ OD tubing in a straight line. It restores a cut run or extends a line to a new area. The push-to-connect design helps keep flow steady and the layout neat.

Why Choose This Part

Choose this union when you want a fast, clean, tool-free connection.

  • Quick repairs and extensions
  • Compact body for a low-profile look
  • Tool-free, push-to-connect install
  • Reliable, leak-resistant seal when seated
  • Reusable with proper tube prep
  • Works across low, mid, or high pressure when matched to your system rating

Compatibility & Use Cases

Use this union on standard 1/4″ OD misting lines. It is ideal for fixing a damaged section, adding a new branch via a tee and extra tubing, or moving a run around a post. Confirm that the union’s rating matches your pump pressure. For clips, filters, and extra fittings to complete the job, visit Misting Accessories.

Care & Maintenance

Check unions at the start of each season. If a tube end looks nicked or oval, trim a fresh, square end and reinstall. Keep lines supported so fittings do not carry weight.

Troubleshooting

  • Slow drip at the union: Depressurize, remove the tube, cut square, clean, and push to full seat.
  • Tubing slips under load: Confirm full seating and add a support clip nearby.
  • Pressure dip downline: Check pump output, filters, and nozzle cleanliness upstream.
