Watts 0652005 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 1/2 in Fnpt

Product Description

The WATTS 0652005 is a push-to-connect tube-to-female NPT tube fitting designed for potable water plumbing systems. It accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing on both tube ends and a 1/2-inch female NPT threaded connection in the center, allowing a technician to splice a threaded port into a continuous tube run without soldering or crimping. The fitting is constructed from lead-free brass and rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure. An EPDM O-ring provides the primary tube seal. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water distribution applications.

This fitting is suited for potable water supply lines where a quick, tool-free tube connection to a female NPT port is required. Typical install scenarios include connecting copper or compatible plastic tubing to valves, tees, or manifolds with female NPT ports. The push-to-connect mechanism speeds up installation in tight spaces where torch work is impractical. It is intended for use in cold and hot water distribution systems within rated pressure limits.

Compatibility

Designed for potable water applications using 1/2-inch OD tubing with 1/2-inch female NPT threaded ports. Consult local plumbing codes to confirm approved tube types for use with push-to-connect fittings in your jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting into any existing line. Ensure tube ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the fitting depth mark before pressurizing. Do not exceed the rated 250 psi working pressure.
