OVERVIEW
Brass Push To Connect Fittings
Tectite by Apollo Push-To-Connect ttings are the fastest, cleanest and simplest way to join any combination of copper, CPVC, PE-RT and
PEX pipe without the use of tools, solder, open ame 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, ttings may be rotated for
simpler installation in tight spaces.
All Tectite by Apollo ttings are approved for use in both potable water and hydronic heating piping systems.
Features:
• Constructed of lead free dezincification resistant (DZR) brass for superior reliability
• Push-to-connect joints require no heat, solder, solvents or tools
• Push-to-connect design allows for a simple and fast installation on any combination of copper, PEX, CPVC or PE-RT pipe
• Corrosion resistant for greater longevity
• Lifetime warranty on most fittings. Refer to Apollo Warranty on www.apolloflow.com for item specific information.
Specications:
• Maximum Working Pressure: 200 psi
• Temperature Range: 32º-250º F
