Watts 0651146 Push-to-connect Brass Tube Fitting 3/4 in

Product Description

The WATTS 0651146 is a push-to-connect brass tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Configured as a Tube x FNPT x Tube fitting, it accepts 3/4-inch OD tubing on both ends and a 3/4-inch female NPT threaded port in the center. The body is constructed from brass for durability and corrosion resistance, and the O-rings are EPDM, making them compatible with water service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a threaded branch connection is needed mid-run without soldering or crimping.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, particularly in water supply lines where quick assembly or field repairs are required. The push-to-connect design reduces labor time on new construction and retrofit work alike. It is appropriate for use with compatible 3/4-inch OD tubing types typically found in potable water distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing push-to-connect fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the tube stop before pressurizing the line. Do not overtighten threaded connections; apply thread sealant tape to the NPT port threads per standard practice.
