Reliance Worldwide UPFC12 Push-to-connect Adapter 1/2 Fip

Product Description

The RELIANCE WORLDWIDE UPFC12 is a push-to-connect (SharkBite-style) adapter fitting that transitions between a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) threaded connection and a 1/2-inch push-to-connect port. It allows a technician or plumber to join a threaded pipe end to copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing quickly, without soldering, clamps, or unions. At 0.16 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight spaces in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The push-to-connect mechanism provides a secure, tool-optional connection that meets common plumbing code requirements.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded female port on a valve, fixture, or distribution manifold needs to transition to tubing via a push-fit connection. It is a practical choice for new construction rough-in work, fixture replacement, or repair scenarios where minimizing torch use is a priority. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting on hot and cold water supply lines, shutoff valve connections, and similar low-pressure domestic water service points.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect port on one end for fast, tool-optional tubing insertion
• 1/2-inch FIP threaded end connects directly to female-threaded valves and fittings
• Lightweight construction at 0.16 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect transition fitting for 1/2-inch FIP threaded connections in residential and light commercial domestic water plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connections. Ensure the tubing end is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before engaging the push-fit collar. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for push-to-connect fittings on potable water lines.
