This tube nut secures the water inlet tubing to its fitting, creating a tight, leak-resistant connection. Use it when the original nut is cracked, stripped, or can no longer hold the line securely.
- Tightens over the inlet fitting to clamp the water tube and form a reliable seal
- Helps stop drips at the water-line connection point
- Addresses loose or damaged inlet connections and difficulty keeping the tube seated
- Commonly replaced when the nut is worn, cross-threaded, or visibly cracked
What's included: 1 tube nut Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
- Place a towel to catch residual water and relieve line pressure
- Hold the fitting with one wrench while tightening the nut with another to avoid twisting components
- Do not overtighten; restore water and check for leaks after installation
- Inspect the tubing, ferrule/sleeve, and insert; replace if worn or damaged
