Nibco PRESADCFIP12 Copper Press Female Adapter 1/2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRESADCFIP12 is a 1/2-inch copper press-by-female-threaded adapter designed for use in pressurized water and hydronic piping systems. This fitting connects a press-style copper pipe end to a female NPT threaded connection, allowing integration between press-fit copper runs and threaded pipe components without soldering. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial plumbing, radiant heating, and hydronic distribution systems where flame-free connections are preferred or required.

This adapter is suited for new construction and retrofit applications where press-fit copper piping meets an existing or new threaded connection point. Typical scenarios include connecting copper supply lines to threaded valves, manifolds, or equipment ports. The press end accepts standard copper tubing and is secured with a press tool, while the female threaded end accepts male NPT fittings in the corresponding size.

Key Features

• Press-by-female-threaded configuration for flame-free copper to NPT connections
• 1/2-inch nominal size fits standard copper pipe and tubing
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications
• Eliminates soldering at the press end, reducing open-flame requirements on the job
• Compact adapter profile for use in tight spaces during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit adapter for 1/2-inch press-fit copper piping systems with female NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of the press end requires a compatible press tool and jaw set sized for 1/2-inch copper press fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water or hydronic system completely before making any connections. The female threaded end should be assembled with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Do not use a torch or open flame on the press end of this fitting.
