Sioux Chief 1/2 in. PEX x 1/2 in. Copper Fitting Adapter, Lead-Free, Copper

The 643X2 from Sioux Chief is a 1/2” PEX x 1/2” Copper Fitting Adapter, Lead Free.  Adapters are used to extend runs, or to simply change the connection type at the end of a pipe. This allows dissimilar pipes to be connected, without the need for a more involved setup. This fitting connects PEX tubing to copper in a straight line. 

PEX x Copper Fitting Adapter is used to transition between PEX tubing and copper fittings. When making a connection, always solder the sweat part of the fitting first, cool it off and then connect the PEX side.

This crimp style PEX fitting can be installed using the following connection systems : Crimp Connection System (Copper Crimp Rings PEX Crimp Tool) Clamp (Cinch) Connection System (Stainless Steel PEX Clamps PEX Clamp Tool) Manufactured to ASTM F1807.

The ASTM F1807 Crimp™ is the oldest and most popular PEX connection system. Since 1996 it has provided hundreds of millions of leak-free, permanent joints. From residential to commercial installations, F1807 connections have provided an easy and reliable plumbing connection and have stood the test of time.
