Watermaker 6mm tube connections

[Ric]

I have just bought a used PUR40E watermaker which has a blue 6mm freshwater outlet pipe. I would like to buy an adaptor for this pipe so that I can connect it to a water tank, and also a three-way sampling valve. The PUR40E has a coupling for the 6mm tube and would like to get the same system. I expect these are readily available but don't know what to google - does anybody know what the coupling system is called?

It sounds a bit like "microbore" piping which you can get as plastic "pushfit" or soldered copper. However microbore usually goes down to 8mm rather than 6mm. Are you sure that you have 6mm?

I think the freshwater pipe is 3/16" ID.

You will also get these in brass and in BSP thread if you need.

I used a 4 way version of this valve
