Frequently Asked Questions (People Also Ask):

What is a 22mm x 1/2" male adaptor used for? This fitting is a "reducer." It is commonly used when you have a main 22mm water line and you need to connect it directly into a smaller standard 1/2-inch female threaded fixture, like a shut-off valve, a tap fitting, or a female iron socket.

What does the "DR" stamp mean on this fitting? The "DR" stamped into the brass stands for Dezincification Resistant. This indicates that the brass alloy is manufactured to strict, premium plumbing standards that prevent the zinc from leaching out over time, ensuring the fitting stays strong and is completely safe for clean drinking water.

Do I need to use thread seal tape for this adaptor? You should never use thread tape (PTFE tape) on the top compression side where the nut and olive are. However, you absolutely must wrap thread tape around the external threads on the bottom half before screwing it into your female fixture to ensure a watertight seal.
