This brass fitting is specifically designed for use with PEX hoses. It provides a leak-proof seal between PEX (cross-linked polyethylene tubing) and the water supply source. PEX is becoming a common substitute for copper and PVC pipe because of its flexibility, durability, and low cost. It's essential to have matching, intentionally constructed materials when building with or converting to PEX. Brass fitting is ideal for this purpose because it is lead-free, cost-effective, and lasts for generations. For this reason, these fittings are appropriate either for new construction or for renovation and replacement of older plumbing materials. A fitting such at this is incredibly versatile. It can be used above ground, underground, and behind walls without access panels. These fittings are certified to 200 psi and can withstand heat to 200º Fahrenheit. They do not require adhesives, clamps, or sealant to attach to pipes, hoses, or other fittings. These fittings can also be used to attach PEX to copper and CPVC. They can be used to seal small holes in pipes. This particular brass fitting is OEM certified and guaranteed to have been manufactured according to exacting specifications.
