STEM ADAPTOR 1/2

The Quick Connect System Fittings are made from Glass-filled Polypropylene and the piping is made from Polyethylene. They can be used to install additional outlets or to completely re-plumb a boat or recreational vehicle.

Whale Quick Connect fittings ensure a high integrity, reliable plumbing system solution, specifically designed for use in marine applications and most require no tools for connections. Whale Quick Connect fittings offer many benefits, all ensuring a high integrity plumbing system.

Note: It is vital that Whale Quick Connect water systems are fully winterized to prevent frost damage in cold weather climates.

General Features:

• Unique "Double Gripper" provides secure lifelong tube retention even at excessive pressures
  • Designed for use with Whale plastic tubing and grooved stems only
• Collet has internal support ring ensuring O-ring seal is held in position and does not distort or leak under pressure
• The innovative, tube supporting, "cage collet" design eliminates leaks where fittings are close to tight bends
• High integrity single piece molding improves the reliability and strength of fittings
• Outer sleeve incorporates collet cover, thus preventing accidental tube release
• No collet clips are used thus the Whale system reduces costs, speeds up installation time and ensures complete installation every time
• The patented Whale® plumbing system is specifically designed to be used in "mobile" applications
• Whale Quick Connect fittings and WhaleX Pipework tubing are covered for 10 years from date of purchase (Except WX1599)
• They are designed for use with Whale plastic tubing and grooved stems only
