What Is a Push Fit Disconnect Clip?
A push fit disconnect clip is a small removal accessory used when separating compatible tubing from a push-fit fitting. The clip is positioned around the tubing and pressed toward the fitting to help depress the release collar.
Once the release mechanism is properly depressed, the tubing can be withdrawn from the compatible fitting. This makes the disconnect clip useful when repairing, modifying, or reconfiguring a push-fit plumbing installation.

How the Disconnect Clip Works
The Charman Push Fit Disconnect Clip is placed around the tubing next to the compatible push fitting. The clip is then pressed toward the fitting to help depress the release collar while the tubing is carefully withdrawn from the connection.
Because disconnect clips are size-specific, the clip must match the connection being serviced. This listing includes separate 1/2" and 3/4" options for corresponding Charman push-fit connections.
