Jaco Plastic Tube Insert for Tubing
The Jaco plastic tube insert is designed to reinforce tubing at compression fitting connection points, preventing tube collapse under compression forces. This insert is an essential component when using Jaco compression fittings with softer tubing materials that require internal support during installation and operation.

System Integration
This tube insert is specifically designed for use with Jaco compression fittings. It is required when connecting softer tubing materials such as polyethylene, LLDPE, or flexible PVC to ensure the tubing maintains its round shape under the compression force of the fitting. The insert slides into the tubing end before the compression fitting is tightened, providing internal support that prevents deformation and ensures a proper seal. Compatible with standard Jaco compression fitting sizes for water filtration and reverse osmosis applications.
