The AquaLock 3585-18 is a 1-inch CTS plastic manifold return end fitting designed for use in Watts AquaLock / SeaTech 35 Series push-to-connect plumbing manifold systems. Built from high-performance polysulfone thermoplastic, this fitting delivers fast, secure, tool-free connections that are engineered for long-term, zero-leak reliability.
The collet features stainless steel gripping teeth that lock onto the tubing without requiring special tools or tube inserts, and a zero-leak patented O-ring guide protects the EPDM O-ring from damage during installation, aligns the tubing with the O-ring every time, and prevents it from becoming dislodged. Once installed, the fitting rotates freely under pressure, providing exceptional flexibility during and after installation.
