Pex-a 1/2 In. Expansion Pex In To X 1/2 In. D Sweat Brass Male Adapter

The Apollo EPXMS1212 is a PEX-A adapter that connects PEX-A tubing to copper piping, bridging two common plumbing systems in a single fitting. This adapter features a barb connection on one end for secure attachment to PEX-A tubing and a male sweat connection on the other for soldering to copper lines. It is an economical choice for new construction, system upgrades, and retrofitting existing plumbing to modern PEX-A standards.

Whether you are integrating PEX-A tubing into a potable water system, hydronic heating installation, or upgrading from traditional copper piping, this adapter simplifies the transition. Its construction delivers reliable performance in both hot and cold water applications.
