Both ends take the same size tube and use push-fit connections, so there's nothing to thread or glue. It's a quick fix for a damaged fridge supply line, or for extending a run to a water filter or plumbed fridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to use a 5\/16 inch straight joiner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFridge and filter lines get damaged in predictable ways. A tube gets crushed behind the fridge, nicked during a kitchen renovation, or ends up a little short after an appliance is moved. Rather than replacing the whole run, you can cut out the damaged piece and join the clean ends with this connector. A joint that drips usually comes down to tube with a scored surface, a ragged cut, or an end that stopped short of the tube stop inside the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight connector, 5\/16 inch to 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-fit ends, no tools needed to connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoins or extends 5\/16 inch water tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number 433-516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/16 inch x 5\/16 inch tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEqual straight connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJoining 5\/16 inch tube\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the water supply before cutting into an existing line. Trim each end with a proper tube cutter so it's square and free of burrs. Push the tube in firmly until it stops, which is further than it first feels, and give it a gentle pull to confirm it has gripped. Turn the water back on and check the joint stays dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this suit the 767 white tube?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
