The Crystal Clear 495-38 is a generic adapter with a 3\/4 inch female thread on one end and a 3\/8 inch tube connection on the other. It's a universal fitting rather than a part made for one appliance brand, used when plumbing in water filters and similar drinking water lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere a 3\/4 to 3\/8 tube adapter fits in\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater filter systems and other drinking water lines often run in 3\/8 inch tube, while taps, valves and some housings carry 3\/4 inch threads. This adapter bridges the two, so the tube can be connected without a string of extra fittings. Replace an old adapter if its thread has been cross threaded, the body has cracked, or the tube end weeps no matter how carefully it is reseated. A small leak at a fitting can waste a lot of water over time and damage cabinetry, so fix it early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock code 495-38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch female threaded end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch tube connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal fitting by Crystal Clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThread end\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4 inch female\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTube size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnecting the adapter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the water off at the isolating valve or mains first and open a tap to release pressure.
