Description
Charman Push Fit MIP Adapter
Charman Push Fit MIP Adapters provide a convenient transition from compatible CTS tubing to a male threaded pipe connection. The push-fit side helps simplify installation without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue, while the MIP connection threads into a compatible female-threaded plumbing component.
Available in 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1/2" x 3/4", 3/4" x 1", and 1" x 3/4" configurations, Charman Push Fit MIP Adapters feature compact lead-free brass construction and are designed for compatible copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX. The range includes both matching-size and mixed-size configurations while retaining the same push-fit-to-MIP adapter function.

What Is a Push Fit MIP Adapter?
A push fit MIP adapter connects compatible CTS tubing to a male threaded pipe connection. One side uses Charman's push-fit connection system, while the opposite side provides male pipe threads designed to thread into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, equipment connection, or other plumbing component.
Charman offers these MIP adapters in both matching-size and mixed-size configurations. This provides additional connection options while keeping the same basic push-fit-to-male-threaded adapter design throughout the product family.

- In compatible copper, CTS CPVC, and PEX water-distribution systems
- Where a push-fit water line must transition to a removable male threaded plumbing connection
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Match the adapter to both required connection sizes.
- Confirm the mating component has a compatible female thread.
- Cut tubing square and make sure the connection surface is clean and free of burrs.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media and threaded connection.
- Verify the complete piping system is suitable for the intended pressure, temperature, media, and applicable codes.
Product Selection Considerations
Connection Size
Select the Charman Push Fit MIP Adapter according to both connection sizes required by the installation. This listing includes 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1/2" x 3/4", 3/4" x 1", and 1" x 3/4" configurations.
Thread Configuration
Choose an MIP adapter when the mating plumbing component has a compatible female threaded connection. If the installation instead requires a female threaded connection on the adapter, select a Charman Push Fit FIP Adapter.
