One end features a male pipe thread connection; the other uses a compression-style fit, allowing the two connection types to be joined without solvent welding. The fitting is compatible with Schedule 40 cold water iron or PVC pipe. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this adapter when transitioning from threaded iron pipe to compression-style PVC lines in residential and light commercial cold water supply systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter sees use in cold water distribution systems where a transition between threaded iron pipe and Schedule 40 PVC is required. Typical applications include under-sink supply connections, water service entry fittings, and repairs to existing iron pipe runs where PVC compression fittings are being introduced. The fitting is sold individually and is suited for both new installation and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch MIPT thread on one end for connection to standard male iron pipe thread fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression fit on opposite end for tool-assisted, no-solvent installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for Schedule 40 cold water service on iron or PVC pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC construction suitable for cold water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, single-unit form factor for confined installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 cold water iron pipe and Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using 1\/2-inch MIPT threaded connections.\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 IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before beginning work. Thread the MIPT end into the female fitting hand-tight, then apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape before final tightening. Ensure the compression end is seated fully on the pipe and the compression nut is tightened to a snug fit without over-torquing, which can crack PVC fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type (End 1)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch MIPT (Male Iron Pipe Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type (End 2)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Schedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold Water Iron or PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00032888611030\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: BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161-103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346147836210,"sku":"161-103","price":28.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549731.jpg?v=1782072131","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-161-103-pvc-compression-union-adapter-1-2-in-mipt-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
