Connect to Multiple Materials!
The AquaLock fittings incorporate Stainless Steel Gripping Teeth
in the Collets. These corrosion resistant teeth allow AquaLock
connectors to interconnect with multiple materials without the need
for special tools or tube inserts.
— Copper
— CPVC
— PEX, LDPE, MDPE, & HDPE Tubings
— Polybutylene
Create mini-manifolds!
With AquaLock 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 AquaLock connectors rotate, the
direction of the tubing can be oriented by a simple twist, reducing the amount of
tubing required to plumb a water system.
Technical Information
All AquaLock connectors incorporate an exclusive O-Ring Guide
for improved reliability. This unique feature insures zero-leak
connections by:
— Protecting the O-Ring from damage during connection
— Increasing the connector’s side load capacity
— Correctly aligning the tubing with the O-Ring every time
— Prevents the O-Ring from becoming dislodged
O-RING GUIDE IS THE KEY!

Highest Flow!
AquaLock connectors 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 AquaLock connectors offer
complete flow, allowing for a more efficient system.

IAPMO Certified Fittings
The AquaLock Plastic and Brass Series fittings are manufactured in compliance
with IAPMO ASSE 1061-2006. With the IAPMO certification, these fittings are
approved for domestic and commercial applications for both potable water
distribution systems and hydronic heating systems. These fittings can also be
utilized in underground applications and as manufactured joints without access
panels. To be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the
latest edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code.
* If PEX tubing is used, then a tube support liner must be used also
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.
