Parker A5FA7-MG Faucet Adapter 5/16 Inch Od 7/16-24 Thread

Product Description

The PARKER A5FA7-MG is a push-to-connect faucet adapter tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tubing connections in fluid handling applications. Constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-strength acetal resin, this fitting accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing and threads into a 7/16-24 UNS-2B female port. The push-to-connect design allows the technician to insert tubing with a single motion and achieve a secure, leak-resistant seal without ferrules, compression rings, or additional hardware. Rated to 300 psi, this adapter is suited for clean water, beverage dispensing, and low-pressure pneumatic lines where a faucet-style threaded connection is required.

This fitting is commonly used in under-sink water filtration systems, ice maker supply lines, beverage equipment, and point-of-use faucet installations. The 7/16-24 thread is a standard faucet adapter thread found on many residential and light commercial water dispensing fixtures. Plumbers, refrigeration technicians, and equipment service pros install this type of fitting when connecting 5/16 inch OD poly or nylon tubing to threaded faucet shanks or saddle valve outlets.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and free of burrs before insertion — a clean, square cut is required for a proper seal. Hand-tighten the threaded end into the faucet port; do not overtighten POM fittings as the material is strong but not rated for the same torque as brass. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure before returning the system to service.
