Boshart fa-125nl Lead Free Bronze Female Insert Adapter

Product Description

The BOSHART fa-125nl is a lead free bronze female insert adapter designed for use in potable water and plumbing distribution systems. This fitting connects 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) to insert configurations, allowing technicians to transition between threaded pipe and poly pipe in a single connection. Constructed from lead free bronze, it meets safe drinking water requirements where mandated by code. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this adapter during new construction and retrofit work where a threaded-to-insert transition is needed on poly pipe runs.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving polyethylene or poly pipe distribution lines. It is not intended for hose connections. The FPT x insert configuration makes it a practical solution when connecting poly pipe to a threaded fitting, valve, or manifold port in water supply systems. Its bronze construction provides durability in both buried and above-ground service environments.
