1-1/2 Inch Lead-Free Brass Insert Adapter – Insert x Male Thread

This 1-1/2 inch Lead-Free Brass Insert Adapter is engineered for secure connections between polyethylene tubing and standard female-threaded fittings. Manufactured to meet current lead-free compliance regulations, it is suitable for use in potable water systems and other pressure-rated fluid applications where brass-to-poly transitions are required.

Contractor-Ready Features

Built for durability and system integrity in demanding installations, this insert adapter offers several key performance characteristics:

• ✅ Lead-Free Brass Compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for potable water applications.
• ✅ Insert x Male NPT Designed for direct connection to polyethylene pipe with hose clamps and threaded termination into standard fittings or system outlets.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance Brass construction provides excellent resistance to scale, mineral buildup, and general corrosion in potable and non-potable systems.
• ✅ High-Pressure Capability Rated for use in pressurized cold water distribution systems; pressure-tested to meet plumbing and mechanical specifications.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Lead-free brass
• Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch
• End Type: Insert x Male NPT
• Application: Polyethylene pipe to threaded system connections

Installation Overview

Install using appropriate tools and torque guidelines. The insert end requires polyethylene tubing and dual stainless-steel hose clamps for proper mechanical retention. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threaded end to prevent leakage at the joint. Final installation should be tested for system pressure integrity per project requirements.

Typical Use Cases

Commonly used in cold water supply lines, irrigation systems, and rural or municipal service connections where polyethylene pipe interfaces with threaded valves or manifolds. Also suitable for retrofitting existing systems where lead-free compliance is required.

Regulatory Insight

All 50 U.S. states require the use of lead-free components in potable water systems. This adapter meets current plumbing codes for use in drinking water installations and is marked accordingly for inspection verification.

This 1-1/2 inch Lead-Free Brass Insert Adapter offers mechanical reliability, material compliance, and installation efficiency—making it a suitable choice for professional-grade plumbing assemblies where performance and code conformity are non-negotiable.
