AQUALOCK SERIES FITTING: Ideal for vibrating and dynamic applications, the AquaLock Series works with copper, CPVC, PEX (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE), and CTS rated pipe. Unlike barb fittings, this fitting joins the tubing on the outside, increasing the flow capacity, and rotates under pressure for high flexibility during installation.
DURABLE DESIGN: The Watts AquaLock Plastic Series' one-piece construction means no parts to assemble and are designed and manufactured in polysulfone – a high-performance thermal plastic material – for many years of trouble-free service life. These corrosion-resistant fittings feature a unique O-ring guide that provides a zero-leak connection, making them perfect for DIY pipe repair.
QUICK CONNECT: Easy to install and handle, Watts AquaLock connectors utilize a swivel nut with NPS straight threads and a cone seal, which allow the installer to thread onto NPT, NPS, BSP, and most other threads without tools, tube inserts, or thread sealant. Simply thread on and hand tighten.
MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS: Capable of being used for hot and cold water applications, including behind-the-wall and direct in-ground burial water systems, Watts AquaLock fittings are reusable and available in a wide range of configurations and sizes to suit your needs. This model is a straight valve with a size of 1/2" CTS (Copper Tube Size) x 1/2" CTS (Copper Tube Size).

Description
This 1/2 inch CTS AquaLock (TM) plastic straight valve works with copper, CPVC, PEX, LPDE, MPDE, HDPE and polybutylene tubing. It is easy to install, no tools or tube inserts are required. The fitting can be used for hot and cold water applications. The unique O-ring guide feature provides a zero-leak connection. Unlike barb fittings, this fitting joins the tubing on the outside, increasing the flow capacity. After a connection has been made even under maximum pressure, the tubing is able to swivel, making the fitting ideal for vibrating and dynamic applications.
This fitting incorporates stainless steel gripping teeth in the collets. These corrosion resistant teeth allow the connectors to interconnect with multiple materials without the need for special tools. It works with copper, CPVC, and PEX (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE) tubing.
