Sweat Adapter for Air, Gases and Water

This NIBCO 6042 straight adapter joins a 3/4 inch copper tube to a 3/4 inch male pipe thread. The wrot copper body handles potable water, air and gas lines in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Replaces Separate Fitting Combinations

A single straight adapter removes the need for a separate coupling and threaded nipple when transitioning from sweat to MNPT connections. The jump is worth it whenever a leak-free, one-piece joint speeds up installation and reduces potential failure points.

Suits Installers Needing 466 psi at 200°F

Plumbers and HVAC technicians who require a pressure rating of 466 psi at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit will find this fitting appropriate. Builders who need a different connection type, a reducing size or a non-copper material should look at other fittings.
