Jones Stephens i13016lf Brass Insert Coupling 3/4 in

Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS i13016lf is a lead-free brass insert coupling designed for joining PEX, polyethylene, or flexible tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Built to a 3/4-inch nominal size, this fitting provides a reliable, watertight connection through a barbed insert design that seats securely inside compatible tubing. The lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements, making it appropriate for domestic water supply lines where material compliance is required by code. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during new construction, repiping, or repair work wherever a straight inline connection is needed.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving flexible tubing systems. It is commonly installed in domestic hot and cold water supply runs, radiant heating distribution lines, and similar low-pressure fluid conveyance systems. The 3/4-inch nominal size fits standard 3/4-inch tubing used throughout residential construction. The red color coding assists in quick identification during installation and inspection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes governing lead-free fittings in potable water systems. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting tubing or seating the fitting. A tubing cutter and clamp tool or crimp tool are typically required to complete a secure connection. Do not force the barbed insert into undersized tubing, as this may compromise the seal.
