It connects using stainless steel cinch clamps applied with a cinch tool, providing a secure, corrosion-resistant joint. The wetted surfaces of this coupling contain less than 1\/4 of 1 percent lead by weight, meeting current low-lead standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water distribution systems where reliable, code-compliant PEX connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and commercial potable water supply lines, including hot water recirculation loops where chlorinated water at up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit is continuously circulated. It meets ASTM F-876 and ASTM F-877 standards to SDR-9 dimensional requirements, making it compatible with standard PEX tubing installations. It is certified under NSF 14 and NSF 61 for potable water use and carries CSA B137.5 certification. The fitting also carries NSF Cal-R certification for hot water systems with chlorinated recirculating water.
