Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from 0 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The press-style end eliminates open-flame soldering, allowing faster installation in occupied spaces or areas where torch work is restricted. Lead-free construction meets NSF-61\/372 requirements for safe use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and fire suppression rough-in work where a transition from a press copper main line to a female-threaded branch or fixture connection is required. The NPT thread end accepts standard pipe thread fittings, valves, and equipment connections. With an outside diameter of 2.594 inches and a press end that works with compatible press tooling, it integrates into copper press system installations without additional adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress x female NPT thread end configuration for tool-based, no-solder transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e300 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-demand plumbing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for service from 0 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free copper construction compliant with NSF-61\/372 and IAPMO PS117\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 2.594 inches for proper press tooling fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC classified for procurement system compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-install fitting for 2-inch copper press piping systems using NPT-threaded termination points.

Shut off and depressurize the water supply and verify the pipe is dry before pressing. Use only a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 2-inch copper press fittings — an incomplete press will not seal. The NPT thread end must be properly sealed with thread sealant or PTFE tape before making up the threaded connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Female NPT Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.594 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees F (-17 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO PS117, NSF-61\/372\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.79 pounds\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MB22740\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538909790514,"sku":"MB22740","price":113.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/99d532ce537612822f2c67beb13cd810.jpg?v=1785829308","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-mb22740-copper-female-adapter-2-inch-press-x-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
