This press-style union joins two sections of copper pipe without flame or flux, making it a reliable choice for retrofits and new installs alike. The fitting is lead free and rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and temperatures from 0 degrees F to 250 degrees F. With an outside diameter of 0.965 inches, it seats securely in standard 1\/2 inch copper line applications. Licensed plumbers and journeymen installers working in tight spaces will find the push-to-connect end connection a practical time-saver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis union fitting is suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general copper plumbing runs in residential construction and light commercial work. Its press-fitting design eliminates the need for open flame during installation, making it appropriate for fire-sensitive jobsites or areas where hot-work permits are restricted. The fitting meets IAPMO PS117 and NSF-61\/372 standards, confirming suitability for use in drinking water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free construction meets NSF-61\/372 and IAPMO PS117 requirements for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect press end connection eliminates soldering, brazing, or flux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 300 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch fitting size with 0.965 inch outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper material for corrosion resistance in water and hydronic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit press union for 1\/2 inch copper pipe systems following IAPMO PS117 press-fitting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber following local IPC or applicable plumbing code requirements.
