Reliance Worldwide UPFC1 Pipe Adapter 1 in Fip X Slip Bite

Product Description

The RELIANCE WORLDWIDE UPFC1 is a pipe adapter designed to connect a 1-inch female iron pipe (FIP) threaded fitting to a 1-inch slip/bite-style connection. This adapter serves as a transition fitting in plumbing systems where a threaded pipe end must mate with a push-to-connect or compression-style bite fitting. It is a compact, purpose-built component suited for use in residential and light commercial water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters typically install this fitting when transitioning between threaded and non-threaded pipe assemblies.

This adapter is used in water distribution and supply line applications where a female threaded port must connect to a slip or bite-type fitting interface. It is appropriate for use in both new construction rough-in work and retrofit or repair scenarios where mixed connection types are present on existing plumbing systems. The 1-inch size makes it suitable for main distribution lines and branch feeds of comparable diameter.

Key Features

• 1-inch FIP threaded inlet connects to standard female iron pipe threads
• 1-inch slip/bite outlet accepts compression or push-to-connect style pipe ends
• Compact adapter form factor for tight spaces and inline transitions
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds for easy single-hand positioning during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and utility adapter for 1-inch threaded-to-slip-bite plumbing transition points in residential and light commercial water supply systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply line completely before making any connections. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris before seating the slip/bite connection. Do not over-torque the threaded FIP side, as this can crack the fitting body or compromise the seal.
