RO Unit not fitting into sink

[drewdog82]

The tube coming from my RO/DI unit to connect to the sink isn't fitting at all. It did when I first got it, now when I turn on the water, it comes flying off. I was wondering where I could get an adapter. I am having tough luck at home depot, but may have to tyy again.... Anyone have any ideas??

home depot had this stainless adapter that the brass screwed onto

Was it easy to get the fitting off the tubing of the RO unit to bring in for sizing??? I was having trouble getting it off.

yup, i just took the whole damn tube with me. It released easier of the unit than at the brass fitting

make sure the adapter is a coarse thread for the brass fitting and a fine thread for the sink spicket. That may be ur problem why it doesn't fit anymore. You may have screwed a coarse thread onto a fine threaded fitting

Thanks for the help, I will go tonight. U may be right about why it doesn't fit anymore. I had the original plastic attatchment hooked up directly to the sink which is metal.....

The plumbing store told me I had to call the manufactorer. Called them and they told me Home Depot. I decided to go back to home depot and look closely for myself. I found something I thought would fit and sure enough it did..... Glad to know there are so many helpful people out there........ Anyway, WHO DEY if you're on, thanks again for the help.
