Watts 0652018 Push-to-connect Tube to Stem Fitting 1 in

Product Description

The WATTS 0652018 is a push-to-connect tube to stem tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in potable water plumbing systems. Constructed from lead-free brass with an EPDM o-ring, this fitting delivers a secure, leak-resistant seal rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for soldering or threaded assembly, making it practical for tight-space installations and time-sensitive service calls. At 0.29 pounds, it is compact and easy to handle on the job. It is sized for a 1 inch outside diameter tube and a 1 inch stem outside diameter, providing a direct, matched connection at both ends.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial potable water applications where a reliable, pressure-rated connection is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install it in supply line runs, fixture rough-ins, and retrofit jobs where soldering is not practical or permitted. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems under current regulations. Its push-to-connect mechanism speeds up installation during new construction and repair work alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connection. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and free of damage before inserting into the push-to-connect fitting to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 250 psi in service.
