The 247Garden 1 in. PEX-B x 3/4 in. Female Sweat Copper Pipe Adapter is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered for reliable transitions between PEX-B piping and copper tubing. Constructed from lead-free, DeZincification Resistant (DZR) brass, this fitting meets ASTM F1807 standards and is NSF certified, ensuring safe and durable performance for potable water systems. Rated for standard residential and commercial applications, it provides a secure, leak-resistant connection ideal for water distribution and remodeling projects.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Compatibility: Designed for use with all PEX-B pipe/tubing and standard copper tubing.

• Durable Construction: Lead-free DZR brass ensures corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.

• PEX Crimp System: Works with PEX-B crimp rings and PEX crimp tools (sold separately) for a secure connection. Not compatible with cold-expansion systems.

• Certified and Safe: NSF certified for potable water; compliant with ASTM F1807, UPC, IPC, and cUPC standards.

• Temperature and Pressure Ratings: Suitable for standard residential hot and cold water applications.

Tips & Tricks – Step-by-Step Installation:

Step 1: Prepare the Copper Pipe

• Cut the copper pipe squarely and remove burrs with a deburring tool.

• Clean the outside of the copper pipe and the inside of the female brass fitting using a wire brush or emery cloth.

Step 2: Apply Flux

• Apply a thin, even layer of lead-free flux to the cleaned copper pipe and fitting for proper solder flow.

Step 3: Solder the Copper Connection

• Heat the fitting evenly with a propane torch until the flux bubbles.

• Apply lead-free solder around the joint; allow solder to be drawn by capillary action to create a secure, leak-proof connection.

• Let the joint cool naturally before proceeding.

Step 4: Prepare the PEX-B Pipe

• Slide a PEX crimp ring over the end of the PEX-B pipe.

• Insert the pipe fully into the fitting’s barb.

Step 5: Crimp the PEX Connection

• Use a compatible PEX crimp tool to secure the crimp ring around the pipe, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal.

• Verify the crimp with a go/no-go gauge if available.

Applications:
Ideal for potable water systems, hydronic heating systems, and any plumbing project requiring a secure transition from copper to PEX-B piping.
