Product details
The 491-14 is a generic tap adaptor that steps a 1/2 inch water pipe or tap connection down to 1/4 inch. It's a common part for feeding a plumbed fridge, an ice maker or an under-sink water filter from an existing outlet. As a universal fitting rather than a part for one brand, it suits many installations where a 1/4 inch line needs to be connected.
Connecting a 1/4 inch water line to a 1/2 inch outlet
Most household taps and water pipes in Australia use 1/2 inch fittings, while fridge water lines and many filter kits run on 1/4 inch tube. This adaptor bridges the two sizes. You'll need one when installing a new fridge with an ice and water dispenser, adding an inline or under-sink filter, or replacing an adaptor that has started to drip or seep. A failing adaptor often shows up as a damp cupboard floor, mineral crust around the joint, or low flow at the fridge dispenser when a fitting has been cross-threaded or damaged.

Installing the adaptor
Turn off the water supply before you begin. Check the thread type and connection style on your tap or pipe so you know the adaptor matches. Wrap male threads with thread tape where appropriate, tighten firmly without forcing, and connect the 1/4 inch line. Turn the water back on slowly and watch the joint for a few minutes. Local rules may require a licensed plumber for work on the water supply.
Questions about this part
Will this suit my fridge?
It joins a 1/2 inch outlet to a 1/4 inch line, which is the size many plumbed fridges and ice makers use. A few models run a different tube size, so measure the outside of your existing line before ordering.
