What Is a Push Fit Coupling?
A push fit coupling is a straight fitting designed to join two sections of compatible tubing of the same nominal size. Charman Push Fit Couplings use push-fit connections at both ends, allowing properly prepared tubing to be inserted directly into the fitting.
This connection method helps eliminate several traditional joining steps and can simplify plumbing repairs, extensions, and new installations. Standard couplings are appropriate when both tubing sections are the same size and the piping needs to continue in a straight line.

Straight Coupling Design
The Charman Push Fit Coupling uses push-fit connections on both ends to join compatible tubing while maintaining a straight piping path. Standard couplings are sized equally on both ends, making them suitable for connecting two tubing sections of the same nominal size.
With 1/2", 3/4", and 1" options available, the correct coupling can be selected to match several common CTS plumbing sizes. The push-fit connection system is especially useful where reducing traditional joining steps can make installation or repair work more efficient.
Standard Coupling vs. Reducing Coupling
Standard Push Fit Coupling
- Same size on both ends
- Maintains a straight connection
- Available in 1/2", 3/4", and 1"
- Connects two compatible tubing sections
- Used when no tubing-size transition is required
Push Fit Reducing Coupling
- Different end sizes
- Maintains a straight piping path
- Available as a separate Charman product
- Connects two different compatible tubing sizes
- Used when transitioning between nominal tubing sizes
Where a Charman Push Fit Coupling Makes Sense
- For straight tubing connections
- When joining same-size CTS tubing
- During residential plumbing repairs and renovations
- For extensions or modifications to compatible water lines
- In compatible copper, CTS CPVC, and PEX distribution systems
- Where push-fit installation can reduce traditional joining steps during plumbing work
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Select the coupling size that matches the tubing.
- Confirm both tubing sections use compatible CTS dimensions.
- Cut tubing square and make sure the connection surfaces are clean and free of burrs.
- Fully insert compatible tubing into both push-fit ends before placing the system in service.
- Verify the complete piping system is suitable for the intended pressure, temperature, media, and applicable codes.
Product Selection Considerations
Coupling Size
Select the Charman Push Fit Coupling according to the tubing size required by the installation. This listing includes 1/2", 3/4", and 1" couplings for joining compatible same-size CTS tubing.
Connection Type
Choose a standard coupling when both tubing sections are the same nominal size. If the installation requires a transition between two different tubing sizes, select a Charman Push Fit Reducing Coupling instead.
The GetPipe.com team can help confirm your coupling size, tubing type, and connection requirements before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/2", 3/4", and 1" Charman Push Fit Couplings.
What does a push fit coupling do?
A push fit coupling joins two sections of compatible same-size tubing while maintaining a straight piping connection.
Which Charman SKUs are included?
The included Charman part numbers are 440323 for 1/2", 440324 for 3/4", and 440325 for 1".
What tubing works with these couplings?
Charman identifies its push-fitting system for use with compatible copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX.
Does installation require soldering or glue?
No. Charman states that its push fittings do not require soldering, clamps, unions, or glue for the push-fit connection.
What are the pressure and temperature ratings?
The Charman push-fitting family is certified for service up to 200 PSI and 200°F (93°C).
Can these couplings be used for potable-water systems?
Yes. Charman identifies its push-fitting family as lead free and designed for potable-water distribution as well as compatible hydronic-heating applications.
When should I use a reducing coupling instead?
Use a reducing coupling when the installation needs to connect two different nominal tubing sizes. A standard coupling is intended for compatible tubing of the same nominal size.
