Watts 0652008 Push-to-connect Male Npt Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The WATTS 0652008 is a push-to-connect tube-to-male NPT inline fitting designed for potable water distribution systems. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing on both ends and provides a threaded male NPT connection at center, allowing technicians to transition between push-connect tubing runs and threaded pipe in a single fitting. It is rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and uses an EPDM o-ring seal for reliable, leak-resistant performance. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply lines where a quick, tool-free tube connection is required alongside a standard threaded port.

This fitting is suited for potable water plumbing applications where 1/2-inch OD tubing meets a male NPT threaded connection. Typical installations include domestic water supply lines, fixture rough-in work, and water distribution manifold branch connections. The push-to-connect ends speed up installation compared to compression or soldered fittings, making it a practical choice for service repairs and new construction alike. Plumbers working with PEX, copper, or CPVC tubing of the appropriate OD can use this fitting where a transition to a threaded male connection is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressurizing. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure before closing up any finished assembly.
