Connecting Manabloc supply line to new Kitchen Faucet

[Milo7110]

Hi,
I wanted to replace an old kitchen faucet with a FlowFaucet (BioBidet). My house has a Manabloc system installed, so I do not have the typical outlets under the sink that would connect to the lines of the faucet. Instead, I have the Manabloc supply lines with what I would call 1/2-in female connections at the end (picture with the red line). How can I connect the Manabloc lines to the faucet lines (see pic on left)? I have tried a few connectors from home depot, but none of those seem to work. I also contacted the faucet manufacturer and they said they have no technicians familiar with the Manabloc system.
Thank you for your help!

Are you saying you have a Manabloc manifold under the sink?

If not, are you saying that the black connector in your second photo connected to the faucet?

If so, are you sure that the two connectors in your photo don't have the same thread?​

I use a 1/2" MIP by 3/8 comp fitting to go between those lines.

Thank you - The black connector (red line, hot water) connected directly to the old faucet (there is also a blue line for cold water). The Manabloc control panel itself is in the garage and controls most water outlets in the house. I do not think the two connectors have the same thread. Manabloc line seems to be 1/2 in, faucet line is smaller.

Thank you very much!
Just to confirm - is this Lowes part the same?

That black connector is not a Manabloc connector. Terry interpreted your photos right, where I was suspecting they were the same size.

Be careful to not cross-thread the plastic connector. You can use a light bit of silicone grease on the washer-parts, and even on the threads. Do not use tape.

Same part, yes.

Same part, yes.

How about this HomeDepot part? Does not look exactly the same.....

If Lowes is handier for you, try these:

manabloc uses 1/2" pex.
just cut the pex and crimp in a pex stop valve
