Introducing the QuickFitting 1 in. Press-In Copper Adapter with FNPT End—the fast, solder-free way to bridge copper piping and threaded hose or pipe fittings. This copper adapter is built for reliability in both indoor and underground environments, delivering a secure, leak-resistant connection without torch soldering.
Designed with two distinct ends, it pairs a 1 in. press-in copper tube connection on one side with an FNPT (female NPT) threaded end on the other. The press end accepts standard 1 in. copper tubing using QuickFitting’s press tooling, while the FNPT end provides a female threaded connection to mate with standard male NPT fittings. This combination simplifies retrofit projects and new installations alike, reducing project time and minimizing hot-work requirements.
Key Benefits
-
Copper construction—robust and corrosion-resistant for long-lasting performance in potable water systems.
-
Two-end versatility—press-in copper tubing on one side and FNPT threaded connection on the other for seamless transitions.
-
Underground rated—suitable for buried or exterior installations where durability matters.
-
NSF-listed—verified for use in potable water applications, giving peace of mind for drinking water systems.
-
Ease of installation—press-to-connect on copper tubes eliminates soldering, heat, and open flames; the FNPT end accepts common threaded fittings for quick assembly.
Ideal Use Scenarios
- Repairs or additions to home plumbing where copper runs must connect to threaded piping.
- Underground or exterior water lines requiring a durable, corrosion-resistant transition between copper and threaded components.
- Renovations or new builds where speed and cleanliness of installation are priorities.
