Reich UniQuick adapter 12 mm to 10 mm hose black - transition fitting for water systems
- The Reich adapter connects a UniQuick 12 mm system to a standard 10 mm water hose. It has a smooth 12 mm stem for the UniQuick socket and a barbed end for the hose. You need 2 pieces for the cold and hot water lines.
The Reich UniQuick adapter from 12 mm to 10 mm hose is a transition fitting between the UniQuick push-fit pipe system and a conventional 10 mm water hose. One end is a smooth 12 mm stem that goes into a UniQuick socket, the other is a barbed end for the hose. This lets you connect a UniQuick tap, pump or T-piece to an existing 10 mm hose system.
Key features
- 12 mm stem for UniQuick sockets
- barbed end for hose with a 10 mm inner diameter
- black plastic
- tool-free fitting on the UniQuick side
- sold loose, 1 piece
You need 2 pieces for the cold and hot water lines.
When you need it
Many Reich taps, submersible pumps and fittings have UniQuick 12 mm connections. If the rest of the system in your campervan or caravan uses 10 mm hose, the adapter connects both systems without replacing the lines.
A typical case is replacing a tap with a UniQuick model in a vehicle with hose plumbing. One adapter goes on the cold line and one on the hot line.
Installation
Push the 12 mm stem fully into the UniQuick socket until it locks. Slide the 10 mm hose onto the barbed end and secure it with a clamp sized for the outer diameter of the hose.
After fitting, start the pump and check both joints for leaks under pressure.
