Designed for use with stainless steel cinch clamps and compatible cinch tools, this adapter provides a secure, corrosion-resistant joint in potable water systems. Constructed from brass with wetted surfaces containing less than 0.25 percent lead by weight, it meets current low-lead requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial supply lines where PEX tubing connects to threaded pipe or fixture valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for potable cold and hot water distribution systems using PEX tubing secured with stainless steel cinch clamps. It is NSF CL-R certified for use in hot water systems where chlorinated water at up to 140 degrees F is constantly recirculated. The fitting conforms to SDR-9 dimensional standards and is appropriate for residential plumbing rough-in and retrofit applications requiring a barb-to-male-thread transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction — wetted surfaces contain less than 0.25 percent lead by weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch barb inlet connects to PEX tubing using stainless steel cinch clamps and cinch tool TV 608-743\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch male pipe thread outlet for threaded pipe or fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSF CL-R certified for hot water recirculation systems up to 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM F-876 and ASTM F-877 to SDR-9 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with AB1953 California and VT S152 Vermont low-lead restrictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with PEX tubing connected using stainless steel cinch clamps and cinch tool TV 608-743, conforming to ASTM F-876 and ASTM F-877 to SDR-9 dimensional standards.
