Key Features – Brass IPS × FPT Adapter
Designed for IPS Plastic Pipe
The compression ends are engineered to seal against IPC-sized PVC or HDPE pipe, creating a dependable interface with threaded plumbing fixtures.
Compression Sealing System
A compression fitting forms a tight seal by compressing the sleeve onto the pipe wall when the nut is tightened, a proven method for leak-resistant plumbing joins.
Threaded Adapter Interface
The female pipe thread side easily connects to male-threaded components such as valves, couplings, or service line hardware.
Potable Water Certified
Meets recognized standards for materials and performance in drinking water infrastructure.
