Male Adapter 1" Stainless Steel Push-Fit
Male Adapter 1" Stainless Steel Push-Fit
SSPF Series Stainless Steel Push Fit fittings are versatile and reliable, designed for use with copper, CPVC, PEX, PE-RT & HDPE piping in plumbing and hydronic heating systems. Approved for behind-the-wall installations with or without access panels, and underground applications (with proper wrapping to prevent corrosion). These fittings are ideal for potable and non-potable water use. They eliminate the need for soldering, crimping, or solvent welding, making them perfect for repairs in wet, hazardous, or hard-to-reach locations where open flames pose a fire risk. The fittings come complete with stiffeners* for PEX piping, which can be removed for copper installations. Additionally, the fittings are reusable and easily disassembled using the plastic disconnect tool.
*excludes Repair Couplings (To be used with Copper and CPVC pipe only)

Teflon tape is a quick and clean way to seal threads in most applications. When applying Teflon tape, care must be taken to apply the tape correctly or leaking may still occur. You should wrap the thread 2-3 times around the threads in a counter-clockwise direction so that the tape doesn't bunch up when it is screwed into the pipe. Do not over tighten, as this may cause the tape to become thin or break in spots, while under tightening may allow water through.
For professional, long-term or industrial applications, Teflon paste, although messy and more difficult to apply, will provide a more reliable seal that won't leak if the plastic pipe distorts over time. Teflon paste should be applied to both the male and female threads.
