duotight - 8mm (5/16)Female - X Cross Adaptor / Splitter
KL46251
Imagine a tee-piece. Add an extra outlet. You now have this X Cross Adaptor/Splitter, which does what you think: splits one length of hose into three. Useful for three-tap Kegerator systems, or wherever else you want a single 8mm hose going into three 8mm fittings. Not to be confused with the St Andrew's Cross or the logo of a certain mutant superhero team.
Applications & Compatibility
-
Kegerators: If using a three-tap font, it foregoes the need for multiple tee-pieces to split your gas line between your kegs.
-

The duotight Generation 2 Difference
Why settle for standard push-in fittings? duotight Generation 2 represents a massive leap in engineering over traditional acetal fittings.
Dual-Material Double O-Ring Design
The secret to our superior seal is a two-stage system using two different high-quality materials:
- EPDM O-Ring: Provides exceptional chemical and gas resistance.
- Silicone O-Ring: Maintains its shape and elasticity in sub-zero temperatures.
High-Performance Materials (POK)
Instead of standard Acetal, Generation 2 fittings are made from Polyketone (POK).
- Higher Chemical Resistance: Withstands harsh brewery cleaners.
- UV Protection: Won't become brittle over time.
- Extreme Durability: Rated for over 300psi @ 25°C.
User-Friendly Features
- Color-Coded Collets: Black denotes 8mm (5/16").
- Depth Indicators: Includes >| |< indicators so you know the hose is fully seated.
- No Clamps Necessary: Simply push to seal; push the collet to release.
We recommend using a Tube Cutter to ensure a perfectly straight, burr-free cut. An angled cut is the #1 cause of leaks in push-fit systems.
