1" IPS Slip Coupling – Push-to-Connect Fitting for Efficient Repairs and Transitions

The 1" IPS Slip Coupling is engineered for inline repairs and pipe section replacements in copper, CPVC, PEX, and HDPE systems. Designed with push-to-connect functionality, this fitting allows contractors to perform transitions without soldering, gluing, or using mechanical fasteners. It is especially effective in confined or hard-to-access areas where speed and reliability are critical.

Made from lead-free DZR brass, the coupling is certified to meet potable water requirements and is suitable for use in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. The slip feature enables axial adjustment, accommodating up to 2 inches of pipe removal in IPS-sized tubing.

Performance Features

• Material: Lead-free DZR brass resists dezincification, corrosion, and thermal degradation.
• Connection: Push-to-connect x Push-to-connect (Slip), compatible with Schedule 40/80 CPVC, copper, PEX, PE-RT, and HDPE (with stiffeners where required).
• Working Pressure: 200 PSI (max)
• Temperature Range: 33°F to 200°F
• Compliance: ANSI/NSF 61 and 372, IAPMO/UPC, IPC, and compliant with lead-free plumbing requirements under U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act

Installation Guidance

No crimping, soldering, or solvent welding is needed. Deburr and mark insertion depth, then push the coupling onto the pipe until it meets the internal stop. The integral stainless steel teeth and EPDM O-ring create a secure, leak-resistant seal. A disconnect clip or tongs may be used to remove and reposition the fitting, providing flexibility during field adjustments.

Application Scenarios

• Inline repair of 1" copper, CPVC, or PEX water lines
• Retrofitting existing systems with minimal pipe disturbance
• Service line replacements or tie-ins
• Plumbing system maintenance in residential and light commercial settings

Field Insight

Slip couplings are particularly beneficial in tight or finished-wall spaces where cutting back more pipe is impractical. The push-to-connect design saves time and avoids open-flame hazards, making it suitable for use in occupied buildings.

For jobs requiring rapid deployment and long-term durability, the 1" IPS Slip Coupling delivers consistent performance and compliance with modern plumbing codes. Ideal for both temporary fixes and permanent installations, it remains a staple for professional contractors seeking efficiency without compromising reliability.
