Watts 0472020 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 1x3/4 in Od

Product Description

The WATTS 0472020 is a push-to-connect tube-to-tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections between two lengths of tubing with outside diameters of 1 inch and 3/4 inch. Constructed from brass with an EPDM O-ring seal, this reducer fitting provides a reliable, leak-resistant joint without the need for soldering, threading, or compression tools. It is well suited for water supply, plumbing distribution, and hydronic applications where quick assembly or serviceability is a priority. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction or repair work where reducing between these two common tube sizes is required.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where push-to-connect technology is approved and where tubing outside diameters of 1 inch and 3/4 inch are in use. It is commonly found in potable water distribution lines, in-line plumbing repairs, and retrofit installations where reducing tube size is necessary. The brass body and EPDM O-ring materials make it compatible with cold and hot water service within the fitting's rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making or breaking any connection. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the fitting's depth mark for a proper seal. Push-to-connect fittings should not be used beyond their rated pressure or temperature limits.
