Watts 0652016 Push-to-connect Tube to Stem Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The WATTS 0652016 is a push-to-connect tube-to-stem tube fitting designed for fast, reliable connections in plumbing systems. Constructed from lead-free brass with an EPDM O-ring seal, it accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing and connects to a 1/2 inch OD stem without the need for soldering, threading, or compression tools. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is engineered for potable water service and meets lead-free material requirements for drinking water contact. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where quick, secure connections are needed.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial potable water plumbing. The push-to-connect design allows fast installation in tight spaces where a torch or wrench would be difficult to use. Typical applications include fixture supply connections, under-sink water lines, and similar tube-to-stem transitions in cold or hot water distribution systems where 1/2 inch OD tubing is the standard size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter — do not use a hacksaw, as a ragged cut can compromise the O-ring seal. Inspect the tube OD for burrs or scoring before inserting into the fitting body.
