Rwc UC528LFA 1/2 in Crimp X 7/8 in Bct Brass Pex Adapter

Product Description

The RWC UC528LFA is a brass PEX swivel adapter designed to connect PEX tubing to a male threaded connection using a crimp-fit installation method. The fitting features a 1/2 inch crimp-fit end and a 7/8 inch BCT (brass compression thread) swivel end, allowing for a reliable, leak-resistant joint without soldering or special tools beyond a standard crimp tool. Constructed from brass, this adapter meets ASTM F1807 standards and carries NSF/ANSI 61 certification for potable water contact and NSF 372 compliance for lead-free content. It is sold individually and weighs 0.117 pounds.

This adapter is suited for both potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating applications in residential and light commercial settings. It is compatible with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility depending on the tools and system specifications on the job. The BCT swivel end simplifies alignment when connecting to threaded male fittings, reducing the risk of cross-threading during installation. Crimp rings and clamp rings are sold separately.
