Uponor F5400500 Pipe Insert 1/2 Inch Compression

Product Description

The UPONOR F5400500 is a 1/2 inch stainless steel pipe insert designed for compression-style connections in plumbing systems. This fitting reinforces the end of flexible tubing, preventing collapse under compression fitting load and ensuring a leak-free seal. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up in both potable water and radiant heating applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this insert as part of a compression assembly when terminating or transitioning flexible pipe runs in residential and light commercial systems.

This insert is suited for 1/2 inch flexible tubing applications where a compression fitting is used to make the final connection. Common install scenarios include PEX tubing terminations at shut-off valves, supply stops, and transition fittings. The stainless steel body is domestically produced, making it compliant with projects requiring domestic content. It fits standard 1/2 inch compression assemblies used throughout residential plumbing rough-in and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any compression fitting. Insert the stainless steel pipe insert fully into the tubing end before seating the compression nut and ferrule. Do not overtighten the compression fitting, as this can deform the insert or fitting body.
