It forms precise, secure, leak-free connections using the F1960 cold expansion method, which expands the pipe end before the fitting is inserted and the pipe contracts back to create a tight mechanical joint. DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass construction gives this fitting strong resistance to corrosion and to chlorine and chemical degradation, making it suitable for aggressive water environments. Licensed plumbers and PEX installation contractors are the primary installers. End connections include expansion PEX and sweat configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is intended for residential and commercial plumbing applications where PEX-A tubing is the pipe material of choice. The cold expansion method is common in new construction and remodel projects where reliable long-term performance in potable water distribution systems is required. Its compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and lead-free construction make it appropriate for domestic hot and cold water supply lines. It is listed with IAPMO and meets cUPC listing standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDZR brass construction resists corrosion and chlorine or chemical attack in aggressive water conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free and SDWA compliant for use in potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eF1960 cold expansion connection method for PEX-A pipe provides a strong, reliable mechanical joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual end connections: expansion PEX and sweat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed and cUPC listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI 61-2021 and ANSI 372-2022 standards for drinking water system components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with PEX-A piping per ASTM F1960-2021.

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Cold expansion installation requires an F1960-compatible expansion tool sized to the pipe diameter being used. Do not use this fitting with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe, as the F1960 cold expansion method is specific to PEX-A tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: DZR Brass (Lead-Free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Expansion PEX, Sweat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASTM Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM F1960-2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI 14-2015, ANSI 61-2021, ANSI 372-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNSF Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF 14-2015, NSF 61-2021, NSF 372-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAN Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: CAN 61-2021, CAN 372-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIAPMO Listed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecUPC Listed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Law Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDWA Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: JONES STEPHENS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: f76170\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JONES STEPHENS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268009918770,"sku":"F76170","price":332.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308912823.jpg?v=1780696813","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/jones-stephens-f76170-brass-pex-cold-expansion-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
