At 3 inches, this fitting suits larger-diameter residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a press-fit line must terminate or connect to a threaded valve, manifold, or fixture with a male NPT end. No open flame is required at the press joint, making it suitable for installations where torch work is restricted or impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is used in commercial and residential potable water systems, hydronic heating piping, and recirculation lines where 3-inch press copper pipe terminates at a threaded component. It is well suited for mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and large-diameter distribution lines where threaded transitions are required. The press end eliminates soldering time and reduces labor on larger-diameter connections where torch work is more demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free construction compliant with potable water installation requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress-fit end eliminates open-flame soldering at the joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale iron pipe (MIP) thread end for connection to standard NPT-threaded components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch size suits large-diameter residential and commercial plumbing lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for fast, reliable installation in restricted or no-torch environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch press copper piping systems with standard male NPT threaded terminations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before fitting installation. The press end requires a compatible press tool and the correct jaw size for 3-inch fittings — verify tool and jaw compatibility with the press fitting system in use before pressing. Do not overtighten the MIP threaded end; use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for potable water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Male Iron Pipe (MIP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 662545122601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MB22520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233273184562,"sku":"MB22520","price":217.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307614486.jpg?v=1780095889","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-mb22520-press-x-mip-adapter-3-in-lead-free","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
