I'm gonna say......someone had to connect two ends and didnt have anything resembling the correct gear soooooo.........invented that thing.
By the size of the pipe I reckon it looks like a gas line too.

IMERC,
Substitute for flare coupling on propane line? Intended to extend the line, it probably leaked at the hose thread fittings. Substitute for union? Substitute for a real plumber to save money?
Those are my guesses. Of course, it could have been refrigeration or an icemaker line extension, too.
So tell us already!
Bill
no on the propane..
real close on the union..
leak it did,,,

Compression coupling? Not the HO? Who?

so what did it really do...

I guess what it really did was weigh so much that it crinked the 1/4" line where it enters the contraption and caused it to leak. That end looks funky in the picture.
leak it did... for about 6/7 years...
so 1 guess who dreamt this up...
wasn't the DW installer...
HO went to the store to pick it up for the installer...

I still prefer sweat couplings. I've used 1/4" o.d. by 3/8" o.d. sweat fittings, and the fools that follow won't mess with sweat fittings like they will with things that have wrench flats on them.What gave away the leak after 7 years, the mold smell? Yeccchh!Bill
that and the rot in front of the house along with the mold visual.....
siding, plates, rim joist, sill plate, sub floor, front door threshold and the bottom of the jamb. Cabs didn't fair well either......
the plumbing geek at HD came up with that for the installer from HD.....
guess they hadn't heard of a reducing coupling...
I like the garden hose fittings touch....
the other admirable touch was using an ice maker supply kit to start with including the piercing valve....
must have taken forever to fill the DW...
all put right, now...

Hey, when you live on Gilligans Island, and ALL your plumbing supplies have to come off what's left of the Minnow, and the bamboo and coconuts on the island, there's only so much you can do.
Substitute for a real plumber to save money?
that "WAZZDIS" cost a little more than 50$
BTW... that wasnt done by the HO...

Obviously...
A reducer coupling...
note the different sizes of tube entering and leaving.
the "reducer" part of the description refers to what it does to your moey when it fails...
dat's it....
so what did it do IRL??
