Description
Snap-on locking clips that hold 3/8″ OD tubing firmly inside a quick-connect fitting — a simple, inexpensive safeguard against accidental tube release. 10 clips per pack.
What it does
A C-clip (also called a locking clip or collet clip) is a small horseshoe-shaped ring that snaps into the groove under the collet of a 3/8″ quick-connect fitting. With the clip in place, the collet can’t be pushed in accidentally — so the tubing stays locked and can’t pop out under pressure or if something bumps the line.
It’s a cheap, five-second upgrade that adds real peace of mind to any push-fit connection — especially on 3/8″ lines that carry higher flow rates. A surprise disconnection on a 3/8″ line means more water, faster, so locking the collet is a smart precaution. Keep a handful on hand and add one to every 3/8″ fitting.
Key features
- ✓Locks the collet — keeps tubing firmly seated, prevents accidental release
- ✓Snap-on install — no tools; clips into the groove under the collet in seconds
- ✓Fits standard 3/8″ OD quick-connect fittings — elbows, straights, unions & more
- ✓Adds safety on higher-flow joints — 3/8″ lines move more water, so a disconnection is a bigger leak
- ✓Works with under-sink RO, inline filters, ice makers, fridges & water coolers
- ✓10 clips per pack — enough for a whole system, plus spares
Compatibility
Fits any standard 3/8″ OD quick-connect (push-fit) fitting, including:
- ✓3/8″ quick-connect elbows, straights, tees & unions
- ✓3/8″ inline ball valves and check valves
- ✓3/8″ quick-connect ports on inline filters, RO tanks & manifolds
These clips are sized for 3/8″ OD fittings only. If your system uses 1/4″ OD tubing, see the 1/4″ C-Clip Locking Rings instead.
Installation
- Fully insert the 3/8″ OD tubing into the quick-connect fitting until it seats.
- Slide the C-clip into the groove under the collet (the ring that sits at the tube entry).
- Make sure the clip is fully seated — it should sit flush and stop the collet from being pushed in.
- To remove the tubing: first pull the C-clip off, then press the collet in and pull the tube straight out.
