Sioux Chief sc-685-p3 3/4 in Lead Free Straight Adapter

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF sc-685-p3 is a lead free straight adapter designed to connect 3/4 inch PVC pipe to a 3/4 inch press-fit copper fitting. Part of the Sioux Chief MetalHead line, this adapter transitions between PVC and copper systems without soldering on the copper side, making it a practical solution for mixed-material plumbing installations. At 4-1/8 inches in length, it fits into tight spaces while providing a secure mechanical connection. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply systems where PVC and copper piping meet at a transition point.

This adapter is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications where a transition from PVC pipe to a press-fit copper connection is required. It is commonly installed in water supply lines, service entry points, and fixture connections where a no-solder press connection on the copper side saves installation time. The fitting is domestically produced and complies with lead free material requirements for potable water systems.

• Lead free construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 3/4 inch PVC inlet connects to standard schedule PVC pipe
• Press-fit copper outlet eliminates the need for soldering at the copper transition

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 3/4 inch PVC to press-fit copper transitions in residential and light commercial potable water plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. The PVC side requires solvent cement per the pipe and fitting manufacturer guidelines; the press-fit copper side requires a calibrated press tool appropriate for the fitting diameter. Do not use open flame near the press-fit end.
