Water connection for motorhome or converted truck: quick coupling 12 mm to 3/8 inch.

If you own a motorhome or a converted truck, you know how important the drinking water circuit is for your comfort. The 12 mm water circuit is the one that allows drinking water to be supplied to all water points such as the shower or the kitchen. However, for kitchen faucets or coffee machines, a smaller pipe diameter is often required. That's where the 12mm to 3/8 inch sleeve comes in. In this article, we'll look at the benefits of using this convenient and efficient quick coupler to change tubing diameters and supply water drinkable at all water points.

What is a 12 mm to 3/8 inch sleeve?

The 12 mm to 3/8 inch sleeve is a quick coupling that allows two pipes of different diameters to be directly connected: a 12 mm pipe and a 3/8 inch pipe. This connection is commonly used in the drinking water circuits of motorhomes and converted trucks. It is designed to facilitate the passage of water from a larger diameter tube to a smaller diameter tube, without the need for major plumbing work.

The advantages of the 12 mm to 3/8 inch sleeve

Economical and easy to use

One of the main advantages of the 12 mm to 3/8 inch coupling is that it is very easy to use and does not require any special plumbing skills. Just slip the 12mm pipe into the sleeve, and you're done! It is also economical, as it avoids costly and complex plumbing work.

Reduces water loss

By using the 12 mm to 3/8 inch sleeve, you can reduce water loss in your drinking water circuit. This is because smaller diameter pipes reduce water pressure, which reduces the risk of leaks and pipe breaks. In addition, the sleeve ensures a perfect seal between the two tubes, thus avoiding water loss and leaks.

Versatile and suitable for all types of pipes

The 12 mm to 3/8 inch sleeve is compatible with all types of water pipes, whether PVC, copper or PEX. It can therefore be used to connect pipes of different materials without any problem.

Practical for motorhomes and converted trucks

The 12mm to 3/8 inch sleeve is a perfect choice for RV and Camper Truck owners. Spaces in these vehicles are often limited, and plumbing modifications can be difficult to achieve. With the 12 mm to 3/8 inch sleeve, you can easily adapt your drinking water circuit without the need for complicated modifications. It's also lightweight and easy to store, making it ideal for RV travel.
