This fitting is used in potable water service line applications where a transition from threaded metal pipe to PE pipe is required. The no-lead construction meets regulatory requirements for fittings used in drinking water systems. Weighing approximately 1 pound, it is a compact, field-ready component installed by licensed plumbers and water service contractors working on residential and light commercial water service connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for underground water service line installations where PE pipe transitions to a threaded iron pipe connection, such as at a meter setter, curb stop, or service entrance fitting. The grip joint end provides a mechanical connection to PE pipe without solvent or heat, making it practical for trench work and tight access conditions. It is intended for use in potable water distribution systems where no-lead compliance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-lead construction suitable for potable water service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch female iron pipe thread inlet for connection to standard threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch PE pipe grip joint outlet for mechanical connection to polyethylene pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, single-piece coupling for FIP-to-PE transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate weight of 1 pound for easy field handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement coupling for 1-inch FIP to PE pipe transition applications in residential and light commercial potable water service line installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements.
