Nibco PCH60312 Press X Female Adapter 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH60312 is a half-inch press by female threaded adapter fitting designed for joining copper tubing in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and compressed air systems. It uses NIBCO PressG press-fit technology, which eliminates open flame and allows fast, tool-based crimping without soldering. A unique N witness mark becomes visible on the fitting once it has been properly crimped, confirming a complete and secure connection. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using approved pressing tools with compatible jaws and chains.

The PCH60312 is suited for residential and commercial installations where copper tubing transitions to female threaded pipe connections. It is approved for use in gas and compressed air systems and can be installed underground. The press-fit method makes it well suited for retrofit work, tight spaces, or any application where open flame is restricted or impractical.
