A.y. Mcdonald 5182-016 Brass Cts X Fpt Adapter 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The A.Y. McDonald 5182-016 is a no lead brass adapter fitting designed to transition between CTS (Copper Tube Size) compression and female pipe thread (FPT) connections in potable water systems. At 3/4 inch, this adapter is a standard size for residential and light commercial plumbing work. The no lead brass construction meets regulatory requirements for use in drinking water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when connecting plastic or copper tubing to threaded pipe assemblies in water service and distribution lines.

This fitting is used in water service lines, domestic plumbing systems, and retrofit applications where a transition from CTS compression tubing to a female NPT threaded port is required. Common install scenarios include meter connections, valve hookups, and inline transitions in both new construction and repair work. The 3/4 inch size covers a wide range of residential water main and branch line applications.

Key Features

• No lead brass construction compliant with potable water and drinking water standards
• 3/4 inch CTS compression inlet for use with copper or compatible plastic tubing
• Female pipe thread (FPT) outlet for connection to standard NPT threaded ports
• Compact adapter form factor suited for tight installation spaces
• Durable brass body resists corrosion in water service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3/4 inch CTS compression to FPT transitions in residential and light commercial potable water plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Ensure the compression nut and ferrule are properly seated on the tubing before tightening, and apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FPT connection as required by local code. Do not overtighten compression fittings, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks.
