Product Details

Brand: Red Star

Create seamless transitions between your standard water pipes and male threaded fixtures with the 15mm x 1/2" Brass Compression Female Coupler. Manufactured from highly durable, corrosion-resistant solid brass, this versatile adaptor features a 15mm mechanical compression socket on one end and a standard 1/2-inch internal (Female) thread on the other. It is the perfect plumbing solution for connecting 15mm copper or flexible polycop piping directly to 1/2" male-threaded taps, valves, or existing iron piping without the need for soldering or special tools.

Key Features:

Size: 15mm Compression x 1/2" Female Thread.
Material: Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant Solid Brass.
Connection Type: Mechanical compression (includes nut and internal olive) to internal female thread.
Application: Ideal for hot and cold water plumbing, easily transitioning between plain pipe runs and male-threaded fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions (People Also Ask):

What does "(F)" mean on this plumbing fitting? The "(F)" stands for Female. It indicates that the 1/2-inch side of this adaptor has its threads on the inside of the fitting. This is designed to receive a Male threaded fitting (where the threads are on the outside), such as a standard tap tail or a male iron pipe.

How do I install the compression side? You don't need any blowtorches or solder! Simply slide the brass nut and the small copper ring (the olive) over your 15mm pipe, push the pipe into the fitting, and tighten the nut with a spanner. The pressure creates a permanent, watertight seal.

Do I need thread seal tape for this adaptor? You should never use thread tape (PTFE tape) on the compression side where the nut and olive are. However, you absolutely must wrap thread tape around the external threads of the male fitting that you are screwing into the 1/2" female side of this coupler to ensure it doesn't leak.
