1/2 Inch Copper Adapter – Solder Cup x Male Threaded (Pack of 25)
The 1/2 inch Copper Adapter Fitting x Male is a precision-machined transition fitting designed for connecting copper tube to female-threaded system components. Manufactured to industry standards, this adapter supports efficient changeovers in potable water, mechanical, and HVAC systems.
Fabrication and Performance
Constructed from lead-free wrought copper, this adapter features a sweat (solder cup) end and a male NPT threaded outlet. The uniform wall thickness and smooth internal surfaces facilitate reliable soldering and consistent sealing during threaded connections. It is well-suited for use in pressure piping systems requiring mechanical durability and code-compliant materials.
- Lead-Free Alloy Complies with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for potable water use in all jurisdictions.
- Threaded to NPT Standards Machined male threads support secure engagement with compatible fittings or valve inlets.
- Sweat End Precision Designed for clean solder joints with consistent depth and fitment.
- Multi-Purpose Utility Used for joining copper distribution systems to threaded fixtures or supply assemblies.
- Contractor-Grade Packaging Supplied in quantities of 25 for efficient stocking and deployment on large-scale projects.

Installation Considerations
This fitting is designed for soldered copper systems and threaded connections requiring proper torque and sealing technique. Use of lead-free solder and approved flux is recommended. Pipe ends must be properly cleaned and deburred prior to assembly to ensure leak-free operation.
Application Scope
Commonly used in domestic hot and cold water distribution, recirculation lines, hydronic heating systems, and valve terminations where a copper-to-threaded transition is required. Also appropriate for commercial and institutional piping assemblies.
