Know before you buy
This connector is specifically engineered for the Hydro-Logic Small Boy Dechlorinator and Sediment Filter. While it may fit other 1/4 inch tubing systems, it is optimized for the specific pressure and flow requirements of the Small Boy unit.
No tools are required. The quick-connect design allows you to push the tubing directly into the fitting for a secure, leak-free seal by hand.
No, this connector is designed exclusively for 1/4 inch tubing. It is not intended for use with standard garden hose diameters.
Over time, the internal O-rings or locking mechanisms in quick-connect fittings can wear down due to water pressure or mineral buildup. Keeping a spare on hand ensures you can quickly resolve a leak or maintain your filtration system without downtime.
This connector is designed for standard residential water pressure used in hydroponic setups. It is not rated for high-pressure industrial applications.
