The insert-style fitting slides into the PEX tubing and is secured with a crimp ring or clamp ring using the appropriate tool. Its poly construction makes it lightweight and resistant to corrosion, scaling, and the dezincification issues associated with brass fittings in certain water chemistries. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during new construction, remodel work, and repair applications where a reliable, leak-free PEX connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations using PEX-A tubing. PEX-A, produced by the Engel method, offers the highest flexibility of the PEX types and is compatible with expansion-style fittings as well as insert-style fittings paired with crimp or clamp rings. The 4423-374 is a practical choice for repairs, stub-out extensions, and inline splices in domestic hot and cold water distribution systems as well as radiant heating applications where 1\/2 inch PEX-A is the specified tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch insert coupling sized for standard 1\/2 inch PEX-A tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePoly construction resists corrosion, scaling, and chemical degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsert design compatible with crimp ring and clamp ring installation methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight fitting reduces overall system weight in multi-connection installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for potable water and hydronic heating piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style insert coupling for use with 1\/2 inch PEX-A tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM F1807 or F2098 standards for PEX insert fittings. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into an existing line. Use a dedicated PEX crimp or clamp tool calibrated for 1\/2 inch fittings and verify the connection with a go\/no-go gauge after crimping. Do not use open flame or soldering tools near PEX tubing or poly fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Insert Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Poly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 811734022554\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder Increment\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: AY MCDONALD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4423-374\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AY MCDONALD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396385997106,"sku":"4423-374","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312834214.jpg?v=1782830886","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ay-mcdonald-4423-374-pex-a-poly-insert-coupling-1-2-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
