Fittings like this are used when plumbing fridge water supplies and inline water filters, where sizes don't always match between the tap, the filter and the appliance. It's a small part, but the right union saves cutting and re-running a whole line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJoining fridge water lines of different sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFridge water lines and filter kits come in a few common sizes, and the fridge, filter housing and supply tap don't always use the same one. A union like this connects two lines end to end so water can pass from one size to the other without leaking. Old fittings can crack, lose their grip on the tube or weep at the joint, which shows up as a damp floor behind the fridge, water stains in the cabinetry or a slow fill on the ice maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct code PM200804E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnion fitting, 5\/16 inch to 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor water line and filter plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal fitting\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\u003e5\/16 inch to 1\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnecting the union\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the water supply before cutting or disconnecting any line.
