Watts 472010 Lead Free Brass Female Adapter 1in Cts X 1in Npt

Product Description

The WATTS 472010 is a lead free brass female adapter designed to connect copper tubing system (CTS) supply lines to NPT-threaded pipe fittings. This fitting transitions a 1 inch CTS connection to a 1 inch female NPT thread, making it a practical solution wherever a copper or plastic CTS line must terminate into a threaded pipe system. Constructed from lead free brass, the adapter meets current regulatory requirements for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a secure, leak-free CTS-to-threaded connection is required.

This adapter is suited for use in potable water supply systems, including domestic hot and cold water lines. It is commonly installed at fixture supply connections, shutoff valve transitions, and equipment tie-ins where a CTS line meets a threaded port. The lead free construction makes it compliant with applicable safe drinking water standards for use in systems that carry water intended for human consumption.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements
• 1 inch CTS inlet transitions to 1 inch female NPT outlet
• Female NPT thread accepts standard male-threaded pipe and valve connections
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance suitable for potable water service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1 inch CTS plumbing lines connecting to 1 inch NPT-threaded fittings in residential and light commercial potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to male NPT threads before assembly; do not over-tighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive force. Verify that all connections are leak-tested before returning the system to service.
