Ashland Water Group MA150NL Brass Male Adapter 1.5 in

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP MA150NL is a 1.5-inch brass male adapter designed to connect plastic pipe to threaded fittings in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The barbed end secures directly onto compatible plastic pipe, providing a reliable mechanical connection without the need for soldering. Manufactured in compliance with lead-free laws, this adapter meets current federal and state potable water regulations. The brass construction delivers corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. Licensed plumbers and experienced contractors install this type of fitting as part of supply line, irrigation, and drain assemblies.

This adapter is suited for applications where plastic pipe must transition to a male-threaded connection point. Common install scenarios include residential water supply lines, light commercial plumbing, and irrigation distribution systems. The barbed end is intended for use with flexible or semi-rigid plastic pipe of the corresponding inside diameter. This fitting is sold in packages of three units, making it practical for multi-connection jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Ensure the barbed end is fully seated onto the plastic pipe and secured with an appropriate clamp or fitting method per the pipe manufacturer's recommendation. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as excessive force can damage brass fittings or mating threads.
