The 387-14 is a 1\/4 inch locking clip that sits behind the collet and stops it moving, so the tube stays put. It's a small part worth fitting on every joint in a fridge water line or an under-sink filter install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStop push-fit fittings releasing behind the fridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind a fridge, the water line gets bumped every time the fridge is moved for cleaning. Without a clip, pressure on the collet can release the joint and let the tube work loose and leak. That might show up as water pooling behind the fridge, a damp kickboard, or a dispenser that suddenly stops after the fridge was shifted. A clip on each joint also stops curious kids or pets pulling a line apart. Plumbers and appliance techs keep a handful in the van for every filter or fridge connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number 387-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking clip for 1\/4 inch push-fit fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits behind the collet to stop accidental release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a locking clip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure the tube is pushed fully home in the fitting first.
