Running a reactor from my manifold

Jakepen · Nov 11, 2017

So I’ll be running a reactor from my manifold. What do I use to attatch it to the 1”cepex, as far as a fitting?

I used a threaded barb and flex hose

The reactor I have uses (or at least came with) plastic 1/2” tube.

They make 1/2" barb to a 1" thread

The tubing is the same as RODI tube, can that go over barbed?

NO. If you use RO/DI tubing you will need john guest fittings. I believe that used 1/2 tubing so you will need the larger size than 1/4 for RODI. Home depot will have fittings of what you need.

They will have the correct fittings to put into the cepex?

Yes, a reducer.

YEs. don't remember what size the cepex is on your unit. But they have 1/2 and 3/8 and 1/4. Example below. Then you can seat that into your plumbing.
