Product Description
The NDS CMAP 5-18 is a compression-style male adapter fitting designed to connect tubing in the 0.620 to 0.710 inch outside diameter range to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) fitting. It is part of the NDS Smart-Loc compression fitting system, which provides a secure, tool-assisted connection for low-pressure irrigation and landscape water distribution lines. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape plumbers typically install this fitting when transitioning from flexible poly tubing to threaded valve bodies, timers, or manifold inlets. The fitting weighs 0.02 pounds and is sized for 5/8 inch tubing.
This adapter is used in residential and light commercial drip irrigation, low-volume sprinkler, and landscape water distribution systems. It is suited for in-ground and surface-run poly tubing installations where a threaded NPT connection point is required at a valve, filter, pressure regulator, or similar threaded component. The Smart-Loc design is intended for use with standard flexible poly irrigation tubing within the stated OD range of 0.620 to 0.710 inches.

Installation Notes
Irrigation contractors and landscape plumbers install this fitting as part of low-pressure drip and sprinkler distribution systems. Before installing or modifying any irrigation line, shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the compression fitting to achieve a leak-free seal. Follow local plumbing and irrigation codes for approved fitting materials and pressure ratings in buried or exposed applications.
