Elkhart Products MA-12 Copper Male Adapter 1/2 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS MA-12 is a 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch copper male adapter designed for sweat-solder plumbing connections. It uses a Cup x Male (C x M) configuration, allowing a copper tubing run to transition to a male threaded fitting. Manufactured under the KLEENFIT product line, this adapter is copper-cleaned and bagged to maintain cleanliness for soldering, reducing prep time on the job. At 0.064 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight spaces in residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in and repair work.

This adapter is used wherever a copper sweat connection must terminate in a male threaded outlet. Common applications include connecting copper supply lines to male-threaded valves, fixtures, or equipment inlets. The KLEENFIT designation indicates the fitting arrives clean and ready for flux and solder without additional degreasing. It is appropriate for potable water supply, hydronic heating branch lines, and general copper distribution piping.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
