It connects press-style copper tubing to male pipe threads, eliminating the need for soldering or open flame at the joint. The body is constructed from low-lead dezincification-resistant brass, meeting lead-free requirements for potable water applications. Internal components include a stainless-steel solid cross-section grab ring, a nylon separation ring, and an EPDM o-ring. The adapter is manufactured to ASTM material and dimensional standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a compatible press tool with the appropriate jaw set for 2.5-inch connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where press-fit copper piping meets threaded pipe connections. The 2.5-inch size places it in large-diameter applications such as main supply lines, commercial water distribution, and mechanical room piping. The male NPT end threads directly into flanges, valves, or equipment with a corresponding female threaded port. The fitting is rated for potable water service and complies with low-lead content standards applicable in states and jurisdictions that enforce reduced lead requirements in plumbing components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-lead dezincification-resistant brass body meets potable water lead-free requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented stainless-steel solid cross-section grab ring provides a secure mechanical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM o-ring delivers a reliable, long-term watertight seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon separation ring maintains component alignment during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeak Before Press technology provides a visual indicator if a joint has not been fully pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBreak Away Band (Patent 9,532,451) serves as a visual confirmation element prior to pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo soldering or open flame required at the connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in ApolloPress large-diameter copper press fitting systems; the 804 series PxMPT configuration is intended for 2.5-inch copper press tubing transitioning to a male NPT threaded connection.

Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before making any connections. Use a manufacturer-approved press tool with the correct jaw profile for 2.5-inch fittings; do not attempt to press fittings with incompatible tooling. Inspect the o-ring and grab ring for damage before pressing, and confirm the Break Away Band is intact as a pre-press visual check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Male NPT (PxMPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low-lead dezincification-resistant brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrab Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless steel (solid cross-section)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeparation Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM o-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low lead (international low lead \/ LD 804)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatent\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9,532,451 (Break Away Band)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APOLLO VALVES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MA212\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APOLLO VALVES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383973445938,"sku":"MA212","price":190.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312672472.png?v=1782613722","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apollo-valves-ma212-press-adapter-male-pxmpt-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
