Ashland Water Group MA100NL Brass Male Adapter 1 in

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP MA100NL is a 1-inch yellow brass male adapter with a barbed end, designed for connecting plastic pipe in plumbing systems. This lead-free fitting meets current lead-free compliance laws, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter where a threaded male connection transitions to a barbed fitting for plastic tubing or pipe. The yellow brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in both residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial water distribution systems where plastic pipe such as polyethylene or similar flexible tubing connects to threaded fittings. It is well suited for supply line connections, irrigation laterals, and service entry applications where a durable brass-to-plastic transition is required. The barbed end grips the inside diameter of compatible plastic pipe securely when combined with an appropriate clamp or crimp ring.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal size for standard plastic pipe connections
• Yellow brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Barbed end design grips plastic pipe and resists pull-out

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing this fitting.
