Description
No Stop CTS Brass Compression Coupling for Water Service Lines
Product Overview
A CTS compression coupling joins two lengths of copper or CTS poly water service pipe. This one has no stop inside, so the pipe can pass through the coupling body. That lets you slide it over a joint on a line that is already in place. The Cambridge Brass 119NL is no-lead brass, rated 300 PSI, in 3/4" to 2" sizes.
Key Features and Benefits
- There is no stop inside, so the pipe can pass through the coupling body and the coupling can slide over a joint in an existing line.
- Both CB compression ends accept copper water pipe type K or L, or CTS poly pipe SDR-9, so one CTS coupling can join copper to same-size CTS poly.
- Tightening each nut squeezes a rubber gasket and gripper onto the pipe, so no solder, glue or torch is needed.
- Rated 300 PSI and made to meet or exceed AWWA C800 and NSF 61 and 372, this water service coupling suits cold potable water lines.
- In plastic pipe, a stainless steel insert stiffener supports the pipe end, so it does not creep out of the joint over time.
Sizes and Part Numbers
Both ends of each 119NL coupling are the same size.
| Part Number | CTS Size (both ends) | Weight Each |
|---|---|---|
| 119NL-H3H3 | 3/4" | 0.9 lb |
| 119NL-H4H4 | 1" | 1.5 lb |
| 119NL-H5H5 | 1-1/4" | 3.7 lb |
| 119NL-H6H6 | 1-1/2" | 2.9 lb |
| 119NL-H7H7 | 2" | 3.6 lb |
CTS Pipe Size Chart
CTS (copper tube size) pipe is measured by outside diameter, and copper tube and CTS poly pipe share the same sizes. IPS pipe, including PVC and IPS poly, is larger and will not fit this coupling. Measure before you order.
| Nominal Size | CTS Outside Diameter (fits this coupling) | IPS Outside Diameter (does not fit) |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4" | 0.875" | 1.050" |
| 1" | 1.125" | 1.315" |
| 1-1/4" | 1.375" | 1.660" |
| 1-1/2" | 1.625" | 1.900" |
| 2" | 2.125" | 2.375" |
For PVC or IPS poly pipe, use the IPS compression coupling without a stop.
How to Use a Compression Coupling Without a Stop
These steps follow the Cambridge Brass installation instructions for CB compression fittings, plus the slide-over step for a coupling with no stop.
- Cut: Cut each pipe square with a tube or pipe cutter, not a hacksaw, and make sure the ends are round and clean.
- Stiffen: In plastic pipe, add a CTS insert stiffener to each pipe end.
- Slide: Mark both pipes, loosen the nuts, and slide the coupling fully onto one pipe. Line up the second pipe, then slide the coupling back to center it over the marks.
- Tighten: Tighten each nut with a smooth-jawed adjustable wrench until it bottoms against the body shoulder.
- Test: Pressure test the line before backfilling, and never let water freeze inside the fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slip coupling used for?
A slip coupling, also called a no-stop coupling, has no stop inside, so it can slide along the pipe. That lets it go in the middle of an existing line, such as where a damaged section is cut out. This CTS compression coupling works the same way.
How does a compression coupling work?
Tightening each nut squeezes a rubber gasket and gripper against the outside of the pipe. The gasket seals the joint, and the gripper holds the pipe. On this coupling, tighten each nut until it bottoms against the body shoulder.
What is 3/4 CTS pipe?
3/4" CTS pipe is copper tube or CTS poly pipe with a 0.875" (7/8") outside diameter. It fits the 3/4" size of this coupling, part number 119NL-H3H3. A 3/4" IPS pipe is larger, at 1.050", and will not fit.
How do you connect copper pipe to poly pipe?
When both are CTS size, one CTS compression coupling can join them. Its CB compression ends take copper water pipe type K or L and CTS polyethylene pipe SDR-9 of the same nominal size. Put an insert stiffener in the poly pipe end.
How do you repair an underground water line?
On a CTS copper or poly service line, cut out the damaged section square, fit a new piece of the same pipe, and join each end with a coupling without stop. Use insert stiffeners in poly pipe, and pressure test before backfilling.
