Ashland Water Group IC100NL Brass Insert Coupling

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP IC100NL is a 1-inch yellow brass insert coupling designed to join two sections of plastic pipe using barbed ends for a secure mechanical connection. This fitting seats directly into the pipe bore, relying on the barb profile to grip the inner wall and resist pull-out forces. Yellow brass construction provides corrosion resistance suited for potable water and general plumbing distribution systems. The IC100NL complies with lead-free requirements, making it appropriate for use in drinking water applications where low-lead materials are mandated by code. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling in residential and light commercial piping runs.

This insert coupling is used in plastic pipe systems, including polyethylene and other flexible or semi-rigid tubing commonly found in residential water supply, irrigation, and hydronic distribution lines. The barbed insert design allows for installation without soldering or threading, making it practical in tight spaces or field repair scenarios. It is sold in a package quantity of 6 units, supporting service work or small-scale installation projects.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal size for standard plastic pipe connections
• Yellow brass construction for corrosion resistance in potable water service
• Barbed ends provide mechanical grip on the inner wall of plastic pipe
• Lead-free compliant for use in drinking water systems per applicable regulations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use insert coupling for 1-inch plastic pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. The barbed ends should be fully seated into the pipe bore; using a hose clamp or crimp ring over the fitting is common practice to secure the connection and prevent pull-out under pressure. Verify that the selected fitting meets local plumbing code requirements, including applicable lead-free mandates under state or federal law.
