Plumbeeze UNA-15 Nylon Insert Adapter 1.5 in Female Npt

Product Description

The PLUMBEEZE UNA-15 is a 1.5-inch nylon insert adapter fitting designed to connect female pipe threads to polyethylene pipe in a straight-line configuration. Built from nylon, this adapter offers greater toughness and superior shock absorption compared to standard poly insert fittings, making it a reliable choice for water service and agricultural distribution systems. It carries NSF certification for use in potable cold water applications. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors install these fittings using stainless steel hose clamps to secure the fitting to the poly pipe. Each package contains 5 fittings sold as a unit.

This adapter is suited for both underground and above-ground installations in residential and agricultural settings. Typical applications include rural water service lines, farm irrigation laterals, and utility water distribution runs where polyethylene pipe connects to threaded fittings or valves. These are cold water fittings only and are not rated for hot water or pressurized hot systems. The nylon construction resists common soil conditions, making it appropriate for direct-bury applications without additional protection in most service environments.
