Hydrapro H60078 Brass Male Adapter Pex X Mip

Product Description

The HYDRAPRO H60078 is a brass male adapter designed to transition a 3/4 inch PEX tubing line to a 1/2 inch male iron pipe (MIP) threaded connection. This fitting is a standard component in plumbing rough-in and repair work, allowing PEX distribution lines to terminate at or connect into threaded iron pipe fittings, valves, or fixture supplies. Constructed from brass, it offers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of adapter during new construction, remodel work, and system retrofits where PEX tubing meets threaded pipe assemblies.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where PEX tubing is run as the primary distribution pipe and must tie into 1/2 inch MIP threaded components. Typical applications include connecting PEX supply lines to ball valves, manifold ports, water heater connections, and shutoff valve outlets. It is used in potable water systems and is appropriate for both supply and distribution runs wherever a 3/4 inch PEX-to-1/2 inch male thread transition is required.

Key Features

• Transitions 3/4 inch PEX tubing to 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for potable water service
• Male threaded end connects directly to female-threaded fittings, valves, and fixtures
• Compatible with standard PEX crimp or clamp installation methods on the PEX end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style transition fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using 3/4 inch PEX supply tubing terminating at 1/2 inch female-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. The PEX end is secured using a standard crimp ring or cinch clamp with the appropriate sizing tool; the MIP threaded end should be wrapped with thread seal tape or pipe thread compound before threading into the mating fitting. Work must comply with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements for potable water piping.
