Nibco PCH604112 Press X Male Adapter 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH604112 is a 1-1/2 inch copper press-by-male-thread adapter fitting designed for tool-based press joining in copper tubing systems. It connects a press-end copper tube to a male NPT threaded outlet, eliminating the need for open-flame soldering at the joint. This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic piping, gas distribution, and compressed air systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting with a compatible pressing tool and jaw set sized for the connection diameter.

The PCH604112 is suited for above-grade and below-grade installations, including underground copper piping runs. It is designed for use with seamless copper water tube conforming to applicable ASTM standards. Its press-connect design makes it a practical choice for tight spaces, retrofit work, and projects where torch use is restricted or impractical. NIBCO PressG fittings are backed by a 25-year limited warranty, reflecting the long service life expected from copper alloy press fittings in commercial and residential applications.

Key Features

• Press-by-male-thread configuration joins copper tube to threaded pipe or equipment ports without soldering
• Compatible with standard press tooling and jaw sets sized for 1-1/2 inch connections
• Approved for underground installation in addition to above-grade use
• Suitable for residential and commercial gas, compressed air, and water piping systems
• Unique N witness mark becomes visible when the fitting is properly crimped, confirming full engagement

Compatibility

Designed for use with seamless copper water tube in press-connect copper piping systems for residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and compressed air applications. Requires a compatible pressing tool with the appropriate jaw set for 1-1/2 inch press fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and NIBCO technical data sheets. Shut off and depressurize the system before cutting or fitting any pipe section. Use only compatible pressing tools and correctly sized jaw sets rated for this fitting diameter. Do not use an open flame on press-connect fittings; heat-based joining methods void the press-seal design.
