BrassCraft MAU2-10-8S Compression Adapter – 5/8" OD x 1/2" MIP for Secure Transitions

The BrassCraft MAU2-10-8S compression adapter is engineered to provide a dependable connection between 5/8" OD tubing and 1/2" male iron pipe threads. Designed for use in water supply systems, this fitting facilitates tight, secure transitions in residential and commercial applications where precision and durability are essential.

Performance Features

• Lead-Free Brass Construction: Manufactured from compliant materials to meet ANSI/NSF 61 and 372 standards for potable water systems.
• Compression x MIP Design: Offers a secure, metal-to-metal seal on the compression end and reliable threaded engagement on the MIP side.
• Rated for High Pressure: Suitable for service up to 200 PSI and 250°F when properly installed, making it ideal for hot and cold water lines.
• Corrosion Resistant: Brass body with precision-machined threads resists dezincification and maintains joint integrity over time.
• Compact Profile: Optimized for confined installation areas such as under sinks or in behind-wall cavities.

Installation Overview

This adapter is designed for compression-to-threaded connections. For proper sealing, ensure ferrule alignment is correct and use Teflon® tape or thread sealant on the male pipe thread. Tighten with appropriate torque to avoid thread deformation or over-compression of ferrules. Always follow local plumbing codes for final installation requirements.

Applications

• Connecting copper or PEX tubing to threaded fixtures or valves
• Potable water supply lines
• Fixture shut-off valve installations
• Retrofits and remodels where existing tubing must be adapted to new threaded components
