Watts Brass Tubular PL-3026 Quick Connect Adapter

Product Description

The WATTS BRASS TUBULAR PL-3026 is a quick connect adapter designed to join 3/8-inch OD tubing to a 3/8-inch male pipe thread fitting. Sold in a package of 5, this adapter is intended for use with poly or soft copper tubing in plumbing and water supply applications. Installation requires no tools for the tube-side connection — the quick connect end accepts the tube with a simple push-in engagement. This part is not approved for use with steel tubing or in concealed installations, a restriction that must be observed during installation planning.

This adapter is commonly used in residential and light commercial water supply lines, ice maker connections, filtration system hookups, and similar low-pressure distribution applications. The quick connect end speeds up service calls and changeouts where soft copper or poly tubing runs to a threaded fitting on a valve, fixture, or supply manifold. Its compact form factor suits tight spaces in under-sink and appliance installations where accessible routing is maintained.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making or breaking any connections. The tube end must be cut cleanly and squarely before insertion into the quick connect fitting to ensure a proper seal. Do not use this adapter in concealed wall, ceiling, or floor installations, and do not connect steel tubing to this fitting.
