Fresh water plastic hose connectors for Galley - where to buy

[OzDean]

Hello CF, need to replace the hot water plastic hose connector for the Galley sink mixer, 2003 Jeanneau 43 so I expect a few of these connectors will need replacing. The connector has an O ring and screws into the sink mixer s/s easy hooker, see picture. Has anyone sourced these connector fittings, where did you get them from and what is the type and size of the hose? The boat thousands of miles away and I would like to buy these fittings in Australia before I leave. Thanks, Dean

Have you tried the local home store? In the US it would be called Home Depot or Lowes. I am sure that in Oz you have different names but the same thing.

Check your local recreational vehicle dealer / repair shop. Had connectors like that in my last 5th wheel trailer.

Hi
I would try in OZ at Bunnings Warehouse. Good luck.

Snap fit connects work well and are quite cheap so get a few spares and simply replace the complete original ones if they prove incompatible (assuming you have 15mm pipe). Should be available in any building supplies as they are becoming standard for house plumbing due to being easier and cheaper to install.

If it is 15 mm plastic pipe BLA have lots of whale fittings

Bunnings et al only stock baby ones for the water filters.
I would use Hardware and General who stock these, if you are in Sydney. Otherwise, just about any trade plumbing supplies

I apologize. They looked like Shark Bite fittings to me.
