1/2" Lead-Free Brass Slip Coupling – Push-to-Connect Fitting for Potable Water Systems

The 1/2" Slip Coupling is a lead-free brass push-to-connect fitting designed for use in potable water and hydronic heating systems. This coupling enables quick, permanent repairs or line extensions without the need for soldering, crimping, or specialized press tools.

With a built-in demount feature and axial slip capability, it facilitates rapid pipe alignment and system restoration in existing copper, CPVC, or PEX installations. Ideal for confined spaces or emergency repair work, this coupling reduces system downtime and simplifies retrofits with minimal pipe movement required.
