Push to Connect Fittings

Push to connect fittings make plumbing fast, clean, and reliable. These solder-free, no-crimp connectors join PEX, copper, and CPVC by simply pushing the pipe into the fitting. A stainless steel grab ring locks the tube while an EPDM O‑ring seals it, delivering a secure, leak-tight joint without torches, glue, or special press tools. They’re ideal for tight spaces, live-in remodels, and quick turnarounds where downtime matters.

Use push fit fittings for emergency repairs, fixture swaps, reroutes, and new runs to sinks, toilets, water heaters, and manifolds. Many options are rated up to 200 psi and 200°F (check product specs) and are certified for potable water. They’re commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation tie-ins, and closed-loop hydronic heating. Do not use on gas or compressed air unless the fitting specifically lists that rating.

You’ll find couplings, elbows, tees, reducers, slip couplings for pipe repair, end caps, drop-ear elbows, check valves, and full-port ball valves. Sizes typically range from 1/4 in. to 1 in., with some lines offering 1-1/4 in. fittings. Choose lead-free brass for durability and high temperature service, or polymer bodies for corrosion resistance and lighter weight. Many fittings are demountable and reusable, which helps on service calls and reduces waste.

Get a professional result with these quick steps:
- Cut the pipe square and remove burrs; avoid scratching the sealing surface.
- Mark the insertion depth using a gauge; push firmly to the mark.
- Perform a pull test to confirm engagement.
- Support pipe runs and heavy valves to reduce stress.
- Use a disconnect clip/tongs to remove or reposition fittings.
- Follow local code approvals and any requirements for concealed spaces, burial, or UV exposure.

Shop push to connect couplings, tees, elbows, valves, and adapters to bridge PEX to copper or CPVC with confidence. Enjoy quicker installs, fewer tools, and dependable, serviceable connections.
