Reliance Worldwide UPMC12 Push-to-connect Adapter 1/2 Mip

Product Description

The RELIANCE WORLDWIDE UPMC12 is a push-to-connect (SharkBite-style) adapter fitting designed to transition between a 1/2-inch male iron pipe (MIP) threaded connection and a 1/2-inch push-to-connect port. It allows a plumber or pipefitter to join threaded pipe or fittings directly to copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing without soldering, crimping, or special tools. Weighing 0.15 pounds, this compact fitting is suited for tight spaces where a quick, reliable transition between thread and push-fit is required. It is a common solution for repair, retrofit, and new-construction plumbing applications.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded male pipe connection must interface with a push-to-connect supply line or tubing run. Typical install scenarios include connecting water heater supply lines, valve outlets, fixture supplies, and manifold ports to existing threaded fittings. It is appropriate for use in hot and cold potable water systems.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIP threads before tightening to avoid leaks.
