1/2 Inch X 3/4 Inch Clearloc Push Fit Reducing Adapter Clearloc x Female

1/2" Push-to-Connect x FNPT ClearLoc Adapter – Precision Fit for Copper, CPVC, and PEX Systems

The 1/2" Push-to-Connect x FNPT ClearLoc Adapter is designed to provide a secure and reliable transition between push-fit connections and female threaded fittings. This adapter enables fast and tool-free installation, reducing labor time while maintaining mechanical integrity in potable water and hydronic systems.

Engineered to meet industry standards, the ClearLoc design offers visual confirmation of pipe insertion and incorporates integrated gripping teeth and O-ring seals to ensure a permanent, leak-resistant joint. Suitable for copper, PEX, and CPVC tubing, this adapter is widely used in retrofit and new construction settings requiring FNPT terminations.

Key Features

• ✅ Connection Type: Push-to-connect inlet x FNPT outlet; no soldering, gluing, or crimping required
• ✅ Visual Insertion Indicator: ClearLoc window confirms proper pipe seating depth during installation
• ✅ Integrated Sealing System: Dual-seal design with stainless steel grip ring and EPDM O-ring for reliable performance
• ✅ No-Special-Tool Installation: Installs with standard pipe cutting and deburring tools; does not require specialized press equipment
• ✅ Certified Compliance: Complies with ASSE 1061, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF/ANSI 372 standards; Lead-free compliant per federal Safe Drinking Water Act

Technical Specifications

• Size: 1/2" nominal (push) x 1/2" FNPT
• Material: Engineered polymer body with stainless steel gripping components
• Maximum Pressure: 200 PSI
• Temperature Range: 33°F to 200°F (application-specific)
• Pipe Compatibility: ASTM F876 PEX, ASTM D2846 CPVC, ASTM B88 Type K/L/M copper

Application and Use

This adapter is used to terminate push-fit tubing into FNPT-threaded valves, fittings, or manifolds in residential or light commercial plumbing systems. Commonly applied in branch connections, valve installations, and point-of-use transitions in confined areas or retrofits where minimal access is available.

Installation Notes

Ensure all pipe ends are squarely cut, deburred, and marked to the appropriate insertion depth. Insert pipe fully into the adapter until visual confirmation is achieved through the ClearLoc window. Threaded outlet must be tightened per manufacturer torque guidelines using appropriate thread sealant for the system type. Verify local code compliance prior to installation.

Material Insight

Push-to-connect fittings with visual indicators are increasingly used in professional installations due to speed, repeatability, and improved field inspection visibility. ClearLoc fittings are field-proven for reducing installation errors during pressurized system commissioning.
