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

The BrassCraft MAU2-10-8S compression adapter is engineered to provide a dependable connection between 5/8 inch OD tubing and 1/2 inch 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
