2 inch Copper Adapter Lead-Free Fitting x Male

2 inch Copper Male Adapter – Lead-Free | Sweat x MIP

The 2 inch Copper Male Adapter is a lead-free fitting used to transition from copper tube (solder connection) to male-threaded pipe. Manufactured to ASTM and ANSI standards, this adapter is engineered for high-performance use in potable water systems, hydronic heating, and other pressure applications where code-compliant materials are required.

Engineered for Code-Compliant Transitions

• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Construction Made from wrought copper per ASTM B75 or B88 standards and manufactured to meet NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Pressure Rated Suitable for working pressures up to 200 PSI depending on system design and installation method. Maintains performance in both hot and cold applications.
• ✅ Sweat x MIP Design One end accepts copper tube using soldering or brazing, the other offers a male iron pipe thread (NPT) for threaded system connections.
• ✅ Meets Lead-Free Requirements Compliant with federal Safe Drinking Water Act and state mandates requiring ≤0.25% weighted average lead content.
• ✅ Reliable System Integration Used for joining copper tubing to steel, brass, or other threaded components in water, HVAC, and fire protection systems.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Lead-free wrought copper
• Size: 2 inch nominal tubing x 2 inch MIP thread
• Standards: ASME B16.22, NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 compliant

Installation Guidance

For optimal performance, clean and prep copper tube ends with appropriate reaming and flux application. Use lead-free solder and a torch rated for the pipe size. For threaded connections, apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape. Avoid overtightening, especially when connecting to brass or cast components. Always follow local code requirements and manufacturer installation instructions.

Common Applications

This fitting is widely used in:

• Potable water distribution systems
• Hydronic and chilled water loops
• Mechanical room connections and transitions
• Water heaters and boiler system interfaces
