Elkhart Products 9024800CB Copper Female Adapter 1/2x3/8

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9024800CB is a copper female adapter fitting sized at 1/2 inch by 3/8 inch, supplied cleaned and bagged for use in potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing systems. This fitting connects a 1/2 inch copper tube to a 3/8 inch female threaded port, making it a standard transition piece in residential and light commercial plumbing work. The cleaned and bagged designation indicates the fitting has been prepared to meet contamination-control requirements, which is important for installations in domestic water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of adapter wherever a sweat-to-female-thread connection is required.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating connections, and fixture supply lines. It is typically installed where copper tubing transitions to a female-threaded fitting on valves, supply stops, or manifold ports. The 1/2 inch by 3/8 inch size is common in fixture branch lines and under-sink connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
