Designed for use with faucet installations, the Tectite by Apollo, the 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. Chrome push-to-connect Faucet Connector is a real time saver. Highlighted by a 1/4 in. push-to-connect end and a 1/4 in. female compression end, the Tectite by Apollo Push-to-Connect stop valve connector converts any existing stop 1/4 in. compression stop valve outlet into a push-to-connect end for icemaker installations. Tectite by Apollo push-to-connect fittings are the cleanest and simplest way to join any combination of copper, CPVC, PE-RT and PEX pipe without the use of tools, solder, open flame or glue. Simply insert the pipe to allow the high-strength stainless steel teeth to grip the pipe securely against the specially designed O-ring. Fitting removal and reuse is just as simple using a simple demount clip (sold separately). After assembly, fittings may be rotated for simpler installation in tight spaces. All Tectite by Apollo fittings are approved for use in both potable water and hydronic heating piping systems. Material: Brass.
