Used in potable water supply lines, this fitting is commonly installed at lavatory faucet supply stops where a PEX rough-in meets a compression-style fixture connection. The crimp-style PEX end requires a standard PEX crimping tool and an appropriately sized copper or stainless crimp ring. Its lead-free brass construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems in both residential and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where PEX distribution lines terminate at lavatory faucets or similar fixtures with 1\/4 inch compression inlets. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers during rough-in or fixture trim-out phases. The 3\/8 inch crimp end connects directly to 3\/8 inch PEX tubing, while the 1\/4 inch compression end accepts standard compression fittings at the faucet supply inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction approved for potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrimp x compression end style for direct PEX-to-fixture transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch PEX crimp inlet to 1\/4 inch compression outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for both residential and commercial installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined for consistent sealing at both connection points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement fitting for potable water plumbing systems using 3\/8 inch PEX tubing terminating at a 1\/4 inch compression lavatory supply connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. The crimp end requires a calibrated PEX crimping tool and the correct-size crimp ring — do not substitute clamp rings without confirming compatibility with the fitting style. Hand-tighten the compression fitting before applying a final quarter-turn with a wrench to avoid overtightening and deforming the compression seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-free brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crimp x Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide A (PEX)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide B (Compression)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VIEGA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VIEGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619847110962,"sku":"46032","price":18.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4bc5ed6683d444a28478b80862362d4c.jpg?v=1787335832","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/viega-46032-pex-brass-lav-insert-adapter-crimp-compression","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
