Ashland Water Group IC50NL Brass Insert Coupling

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP IC50NL is a 0.5-inch yellow brass insert coupling designed to join two sections of plastic pipe using barbed ends for a secure mechanical connection. Built from lead-free yellow brass, this fitting complies with current federal and state lead-free plumbing laws, making it suitable for potable water applications. The barbed insert design creates a reliable grip on compatible plastic tubing without the need for soldering or chemical cement. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this coupling in supply line repairs and new construction where a durable, code-compliant brass fitting is required.

This insert coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where plastic pipe runs require a mid-line connection or repair. The barbed ends are sized for 0.5-inch plastic tubing, including common applications in water distribution lines. It ships in a package of 6 units, making it practical for multi-fixture jobs or restocking a service vehicle. Lead-free compliance makes it appropriate for any jurisdiction enforcing current potable water fitting standards.

Installation Notes
