Galley faucet replacement

[DRhoads]

I am trying to replace the old faucet with a newer one. the problem I ran into was going from the 15mm water lines to the new faucet 3/8" connections.
I can find no such connectors. I did try 15mm to 1/2" female Whale QC connector (fit fine) then a 1/2" to 3/8" metal adaptor. Apparently the 1/2 female connector and the metal adaptor threads are a mismatch and will not seat. Open for suggestions please!

About a year ago I had almost the same question as you…….

Found it..... “jviss”, posted a reply a while back....15mm x 1/2 “ John Guest Acetal Union Connector, from US Plastic Co. They have other sizes available also.
So if your leak is in the hose or fitting after the tank your in luck. A connector from the original hosing to a new piece of hosing then to the pump should get you out of the situation.
keep us posted as to your progress.

jviss, here on this site, told me about US Plastic Co.

I believe They have fittings you will need.

Try them first

Thanks for your reply.
The leak was in the faucet itself which I replaced but the original connection was for 1/2" the new one is 3/8" the only connections I can find are 1/2" so I have to get a 1/2" to15mm then 1/2" to 3/8" The biggest issue is the thread type. all the connections I can find that are in stock (6 week back order) are for BSP (European threads) and of course US faucets are NPT.
Lesson learned: make sure you can find the proper connections before replacing the faucet and just put up with a small leak vs. NO gally faucet.
