The Plumb Pak 1/2 in Sweat x 3/8 in D Compression Brass Straight Connector is built for dependable copper-to-compression connections in tight spaces. Crafted from lead-free brass and ANSI certified, this straight connector brings together two proven connection methods—the solder-on 1/2" sweat end and the 3/8" compression end—so you can tailor your install to the task at hand without juggling additional fittings.
-
Lead-free brass construction delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance for residential water systems.
-
1/2 in sweat end provides a solid, permanent solder connection to copper pipe, ensuring a leak-tight joint when properly fused.
-
3/8 in compression end accepts standard 3/8" compression fittings, making it easy to link to valves, appliances, or supply lines.
-
Straight configuration offers straightforward alignment in confined spaces, reducing the need for extra elbows or adapters.
-
Single-piece, carded packaging keeps this connector ready for quick retail display and easy one-off replacements.
-
ANSI certified ensures compliance with industry safety and quality standards.
-
What it’s ideal for – connecting a 1/2" copper supply line to a 3/8" compression line, such as certain faucet or appliance connections, or during under-sink repairs where space is limited.
-
What you get – a reliable, easy-to-install connector designed to simplify your project: one piece, ready to work with existing copper piping and standard 3/8" compression fittings.
Installation notes for best results: prepare the 1/2" copper pipe with proper flux, torch, and solder the sweat end for a clean, durable joint. On the 3/8" compression side, slide on the nut and ferrule and tighten securely to seal against leaks. This combo fitting reduces the need for additional adapters, streamlining repairs and installations for both DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers.
