Elkhart Products FA-12 Copper Female Adapter 1/2 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS FA-12 is a 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch copper female adapter in the KLEENFIT product line, designed for solder-type C x F (copper-to-female) connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Manufactured from copper and supplied cleaned and bagged for immediate use, this fitting accepts a copper tube on the sweat end and connects to a female-threaded fitting on the other end. At 0.093 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component intended for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on potable water, HVAC hydronic, or general copper piping systems.

The FA-12 is suited for residential and commercial plumbing rough-in work where a copper sweat connection must transition to a female-threaded port. Typical applications include connecting copper supply lines to valves, fixtures, and threaded equipment connections. The KLEENFIT designation indicates the fitting is pre-cleaned and bagged at the factory, reducing prep time on the job and helping ensure a reliable solder joint without additional flux or cleaning steps prior to installation.
