Rwc UC116LFA 1/2 in Cf X 3/4 in Mpt Brass Pex Adapter

Product Description

The RWC UC116LFA is a lead-free DZR brass PEX barb male adapter designed to transition from 1/2 inch CF PEX tubing to a 3/4 inch male NPT threaded connection. Built for potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems, this fitting accepts either a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system on the barb end, with both clamp and crimp rings sold separately. The lead-free DZR brass construction meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 requirements for safe use in drinking water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a low-cost, reliable transition point between PEX tubing runs and threaded pipe connections.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where PEX tubing connects to threaded male fittings on valves, manifolds, water heaters, or fixture supply lines. The 1/2 inch CF barb end accommodates standard PEX-B and PEX-A tubing when secured with the appropriate clamp or crimp ring tool. The 3/4 inch MNPT thread side makes up to standard threaded ports. Compliant with ASTM F1807, this fitting is appropriate for both cold and hot water distribution lines as well as closed-loop hydronic heating circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
