Rwc U138LFA Push-to-connect Male Adapter 3/4x1/2 in Mnpt

Product Description

The RWC U138LFA is a bullnose brass push-to-connect male adapter designed for fast, tool-free transitions between push-fit pipe and male iron pipe (MNPT) threaded connections. Sized at 3/4 inch push-fit inlet by 1/2 inch MNPT outlet, this fitting eliminates soldering, gluing, and unions from the connection process. Constructed from one-piece DZR brass, it is rated for service up to 200 degrees F and 200 psi. The lead-free construction meets the 0.25% weighted average lead content threshold on wetted surfaces, making it compliant for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and repair applications.

The U138LFA is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a push-fit to threaded male connection is needed. It is compatible with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe. The fitting can be buried in soil or installed behind drywall without additional protection, making it a practical choice for concealed rough-in work. It ships individually bagged and is sold by the each.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and local jurisdictional requirements.
