Rwc UC094LFA 1 in Barb X 1 in Fip Brass Pex Adapter

Product Description

The RWC UC094LFA is a lead-free DZR brass PEX barb adapter designed to transition between PEX tubing and a female iron pipe thread (FNPT) connection. One end accepts a 1-inch barb connection using either a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system, while the other end is 1-inch FNPT threaded for direct connection to threaded pipe or fittings. The lead-free DZR brass construction meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 requirements for potable water contact. Licensed plumbers and PEX installers use this adapter where a PEX run must terminate at or transition through a threaded female port.

This adapter is suited for both potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating applications. It serves as a straightforward, cost-effective solution when connecting PEX tubing to threaded valves, manifolds, water heaters, or other FNPT-ported components. The barb end is compatible with both stainless steel clamp rings and copper crimp rings, each sold separately, giving installers flexibility to use whichever crimping or clamping system is already on the job.
