Solder-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing
- Temperature Range: 32° to 200° F
Solder these fittings to copper tubing or the tube end of another fitting for a permanent, leak-tight connection. They are also known as sweat fittings. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use fittings that meet NSF/ANSI 61 or EN 1057.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

- For Use With: Drinking Water
- Tubing: Use with K, M, L copper
- Specifications Met: ASME B16.18, NSF/ANSI 61
Brass Push-to-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing
- 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.

A release clip or release wrench (both sold separately) is required to disconnect the fitting from the tubing.
Use the chamfering and deburring depth gauge tool (sold separately) to deburr tubing before inserting it into the fitting.

Press-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing
- For Use With: Drinking Water
- Maximum Pressure: 200psi @ 72° F
- Temperature Range: 0° to 250° F
- Tubing: Use with K, M, L copper

Crimp these fittings to copper tubing with a crimping tool (sold separately). An O-ring on the inside of the fitting creates a leak-tight connection that doesn’t require heat or soldering. They are comparable to Viega ProPress fittings. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. They meet NSF/ANSI safety standards for use with drinking water systems.
