Create mini-manifolds
With Quick-Connect fittings small lengths of tubing can be eliminated by
using our stackable connector configurations. Simply snap
together Tees and/or Elbows to create a mini-manifold
of fittings. Because Quick-Connect fittings rotate
the direction of the tubing can be orient-
ed by a simple twist, reducing the
amount of tubing required to
plumb a water system.
* To comply with ASSE 1061, a tube stiffener (provided) must be used on
all PEX pipe connections Series 35 and 45 only.
Watts Quick-Connect fittings
utilize a swivel nut with NPS
straight threads and a cone
seal. This allows the installer
to thread onto NPT, NPS, BSP,
and most threads without tools
or thread sealant. Simply thread
on, hand tight, for a zero leak
seal.
Cone Seal
Cut the pipe or tubing squarely using a sharp tubing
cutter (plastic) or rotary copper pipe cutter (copper).
Inspect the outside diameter of the pipe or tubing to
be sure there is no damage, nicks, burrs, or debris.
Deburr and clean pipe or tubing as necessary.
Measure the insertion depth on the pipe or tubing end.
35 Series fittings have an insertion line molded into
the body of the fitting. For 45 Series fittings, use the
Insertion Depth Guide provided with the fitting.
For PEX Pipe, gently insert a pipe stiffener (provided
for each connection with fitting) into the pipe end.*
Make certain to push the tubing completely into the
fitting until it comes into contact with the internal
tube stop.
To disconnect, ensure system has been depressurized
before removing fitting. Gently pry off collet cover and
push back away from fitting, exposing the collet. Push
the collet in squarely against the face of the fitting.
With the collet held securely in this position, the tubing
can be removed.

Connect to Multiple Materials
The Watts Quick-Connect fittings incorporates Stainless Steel Gripping
Teeth in its Collet. These corrosion resistant teeth allow Quick-Connect
fittings to interconnect with multiple materials without the need for special
tools, or tube inserts.

Rotates under pressure
After a joint is made the tubing can still swivel while connected, even
under maximum pressure. The ability to rotate under pressure
makes these connectors ideal for vibrating and dynamic
applications.
Highest Flow
Watts Quick-Connect fittings join the tubing on the outside. Because there
is no barb fitting on the inside of the tubing the flow capacity is increased
by more than 30%. Only Quick-Connect fittings offer complete flow,
allowing for a more efficient system.
