- Material: Wrought copper, lead-free per NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372
- Standards Compliance: Meets ASME B16.22 and MSS SP-104
- Application: Potable water, hydronic heating, DWV systems
- Temperature & Pressure: Rated for up to 400°F and 200 PSI (non-shock)
Installation Considerations
This fitting is designed for soldered connection on the copper side and threaded installation on the female end. Ensure proper cleaning and fluxing of the copper joint before soldering. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the FIPT connection to ensure a leak-free seal. Adhere to local code requirements for system pressure testing and inspection.
Common Use Cases
- ????️ Transitions between copper tubing and brass or galvanized threaded components
- ????️ Equipment tie-ins for boilers, water heaters, and backflow assemblies
- ????️ Retrofit connections in mixed-material systems
Additional Notes
Lead-free copper fittings are mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act for use in potable water systems across all U.S. states. This adapter ensures compliance without sacrificing mechanical performance or corrosion resistance.
Built for reliability and engineered to meet demanding installation environments, the 1-1/2 inch Copper Adapter C x FIPT is an essential component for system transitions that require permanent, secure connections across piping materials.
