The Watts 3515R-1004 is a push-fit tube reducing union that simplifies plumbing connections by eliminating the need for specialized tools, flare fittings, or soldering. This versatile fitting works with copper, CPVC, PEX, LPDE, MPDE, HDPE, and polybutylene tubing in both hot and cold water applications, making it ideal for new installations, repair projects, and system modifications where multiple pipe materials meet.
Quick-connect technology reduces installation time and labor costs on service calls while delivering reliable, leak-free connections. The fitting's reusable design and approval for behind-wall and underground burial installations make it a practical choice for demanding plumbing scenarios. Simply cut the pipe, push the tubing into the fitting until it seats at the stop, and the connection is complete—no tools required. Disconnection is equally simple: pull back the release ring and remove the pipe.
