Nibco 9017 Straight Adapter 1 1/2 in

The Nibco 9017 is a sweat fitting adapter made from wrot copper for air and potable water systems. It joins a cup connection on side A to a solder joint connection on side B, both sized for 1 1/2 inch copper tube with a 1 5/8 inch outer diameter. The straight adapter meets ASME B 16.29, ASTM B75 and ISO 9001 standards.

Upgrading from threaded or mismatched fittings

A direct copper-to-copper sweat joint eliminates the leak paths found in threaded transitions and reduces the need for dissimilar-metal couplings. The jump is worth it when a permanent, code-compliant connection is required for 5 psi service at temperatures up to 400 degrees F.

Suits plumbers running 1 1/2 in copper lines

Installers who need a straight, sweat-to-solder transition in this exact size will find the fitting matches the tube dimensions and pressure rating. Builders requiring press-fit, push-fit, flared or larger diameter connections should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What copper tube size does the 9017 straight adapter accept on each end?

Both ends accept 1 1/2 in copper tube size with a 1 5/8 in outer diameter for sweat solder connections.

How do you install the sweat adapter and what step is often missed?

Clean and flux the tube ends, slide the adapter on, then heat evenly and apply lead-free solder until the joint fills; the step often missed is allowing the joint to cool undisturbed before pressure testing.

What maintenance or replacement will the copper adapter need over time?

Copper sweat joints rarely need replacement; inspect periodically for green corrosion or leaks at the solder line and re-solder only if a joint shows seepage.
