Brass Push-to-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/548/5483k15--8e296af0f5a1654795491-p9@halfx_637903742995019071.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Temperature Range: 32° to 200° F
- Tubing: Use with K, M, L copper, polyethylene plastic
Connect these fittings to copper tubing with a push—no heat, solder, or flux required. They have an internal gripping ring and O-ring that hold the fitting secure. They also come with a tube support if you want to use them with polyethylene plastic (PEX) tubing. They are also known as instant fittings. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance. They are compatible with SharkBite® fittings. To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use fittings that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

- Temperature Range: 0° to 170° F
- Tubing: Use with firm (Durometer 95A-45D) polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
- Specifications Met: ISO 14743, except polybutylene plastic fittings
Insert tubing into these fittings and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. They are also known as instant fittings. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. Fittings have good corrosion resistance.
Identification rings (sold separately) snap over the release ring so you can color-code your lines.
Clips (sold separately) align and organize your tubing and fittings.

Fittings with Release Sleeve: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 95A-60D) polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
Made of nickel-plated brass, these fittings have better corrosion resistance than unplated brass fittings. Also known as instant fittings, they connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. To disconnect, push on the release ring or sleeve and pull the tubing out of the fitting.
