Nibco B036500 Cast Copper Hose Adapter 1/2 in C X Hose

Product Description

The NIBCO B036500 is a cast copper hose adapter designed to transition from a copper sweat (C) connection to a standard hose thread end. This pressure-rated fitting is used in potable water, irrigation, and general plumbing systems where a 1/2 inch copper line needs to terminate at a hose bib or threaded hose connection. The cast copper construction provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability under sustained pressure service. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of rough-in work, hose bib installations, and service connections. It meets ASTM B584 and ISO standards, confirming material and dimensional compliance for pressure fitting applications.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 1/2 inch copper sweat outlet connects to a garden hose, wash machine supply, or similar hose-threaded fitting. The C x Hose configuration means one end is soldered onto the copper pipe and the other accepts a standard hose thread coupling. It is commonly installed at exterior hose bibs, utility sinks, and equipment supply lines requiring a hose-thread termination point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before soldering. Clean and flux both the copper pipe end and the sweat socket of this fitting before applying heat in accordance with standard copper sweat soldering practice and applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Do not over-heat the fitting body, as cast copper can be damaged by excessive torch exposure.
