Midland Industries 9681212LF 3/4 in Mip X Cts Pack Joint Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9681212LF is a lead-free bronze pack joint adapter designed to connect a 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) thread to a 3/4-inch copper tube size (CTS) pack joint fitting. Built from lead-free bronze, this adapter meets current potable water compliance standards, making it suitable for use in drinking water supply systems. The pack joint end grips the CTS tubing mechanically without soldering, while the MIP end threads directly into standard female pipe thread fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of adapter for fast, reliable transitions between threaded iron pipe connections and flexible or rigid CTS tubing runs.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a transition from a threaded iron pipe fitting or valve to a CTS tubing line is required. Typical applications include water service connections, fixture supply lines, and meter set assemblies. The pack joint design allows for a no-solder connection to CTS tubing, which is particularly useful in confined spaces or retrofit situations where torch work is impractical.

Key Features

• Lead-free bronze construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 3/4-inch MIP thread on one end for direct connection to standard female pipe thread fittings
• 3/4-inch pack joint (CTS) on the other end for no-solder tubing connection
• Pack joint design eliminates the need for soldering at the CTS connection
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 3/4-inch MIP to 3/4-inch CTS pack joint transition in potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Thread the MIP end into the female fitting using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape; do not overtighten. Ensure the CTS tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the pack joint to achieve a proper seal.
