What is this?

Hi all,

Anyone know the name of this type of freshwater system fitting? I leaks badly and I need to replace.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's a plastic tubing compression fitting. Probably found at hardware stores or online.

Thanks. I had gathered that much .

Is there a name for it?

Unfortunately that’s what it’s called. Lots of manufacturers. Parker is a big name, but tons of other choices.

Got it. That’s good to know. Thank you!

That is a Parker fitting. You won't find that in any local hardware store. What size is the tube? Also any John Guest type fitting will replace that. I'd be concerned about that bulk head fitting as well.

Thanks Tellie for the link. The tubing is 1/2 inch Parflex, which I now see is also made by Parker. That's not a bulkhead, but the underside of our forward sink. I plan to replace the whole lot. Fixture and all.
