ABSTRACT:
A plumbing hookup kit for making water supply connections between any of numerous different fittings such as faucet shanks, toilet tank fill valve shanks, and valve, coupling and adapter compression and slip fittings in 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" sizes. The kit includes a length of supply tubing with an annular terminal attached to each end, together with a seal ring adapted to encircle each terminal. With smaller fitting sizes, the seal ring and terminal effect a fluid tight connection in cooperation with the fitting and its associated coupling nut. Adaptor sleeves of different sizes and different configurations cooperate with the terminal and seal ring to effect a fluid tight seal with larger fittings and associated coupling nuts of either the compression or slip type.
