Hi Alan, I haven’t been able to figure out what happened… Bill wonders if Lowes changed item #s; apparently that’s happened to him before… A previous comment explains these details. I’m hoping this helps?

“I think actually one of the part numbers you listed isn’t correct – the 3/8 polyethylene tubing (25′ of it) item #879277, model #98634 is too large for that pump. It does have an ID of 3/8, but it should have an OD of 3/8.

The other item you listed, 1/4 polyethylene tubing (25′ of it) item #814305, model #98584, Is correct, but technically it has an OD of 3/8 and the ID is 1/4.

I ended up purchasing an even SMALLER tubing with and OD of 1/4 and an ID of .170 in and this is the correct tubing for the smaller of the two tubing sizes and the fittings you have listed.

I enjoy your site..
I have bought the your published list of items to put together your RO device. I can’t seem to figure how to use the 3/8” tubing which seems to be too large for all the fittings. By chance did I order the wrong size tubing? The 1/4”” also does not fit into the Shark fittings. I double checked the the product numbers. Any advice would be helpful.
My best, Alan
