Watts 959079 Aqualock (P-600) CTS Quick Connect Coupling, 1/2"

Get ‘em and get the job done

I thought I give people looking to buy this wonderful product and not really know how to assemble it some tips I used. To use this product properly. Do the following:1) Measure the pipes you're connecting, make sure to mark them each 1 and 1/4 of an inch so that you know the depth you need to push it.2) Insert the little black plastic tube into the mouth your PEX or which ever plastic pipe you're connecting. You do not have to use it for copper.3) Connect the pipe one at a time. If you're using plastic pipe and have inserted the black plastic tube into the mouth, you may notice a tiny amount of space it will take up. The line you marked in step one may be a little away from the quick connect. That is okay. You can eyeball the depth of the little black plastic tube and know the amount of space it'll need once you're inserting you pipe.4) You may feel that the pipe and the quick connect may not be harden and you can twist it or loosen it apart. What I do is that do you see that first ring? Use the black round letter U shape piece to separate it from the body then clip the U shape piece down. See attached picture. It will then harden up and you're set to go.Let me know if you need help.

There were no clues on this website concerning the origin of this product, and contacting Watts directly didn't help, so I decided to order it.Made in China! For our drinking water, this is not acceptable.An outdoor shower provided an alternative use. Specifically, they joined 1/2" pex to 1/2" cpvc. Installation was quick like you might expect from a push fitting. Don't forget to use the pex stiffener. It's been a few months now and there have been no problems. I've used GatorBite (and derivative products) and find no functional difference here. These appear to be well made (non-flimsy).

Worked great for me ... I had a leak in my park model & used this to connect Plex to 1/2 inch polybutylene & it was very easy & no leaks ...

works great save me a lot of time

Fix a problem.

Overall, this is a great product. However, it should be noted that you should not get the purple primer on the connection in any way. I accidentally got primer on the connector and it totally broke apart. This was my fault, but there should be a warning that the primer will instantly deteriorate the plastic on this item.

Looks good , not used as of yet

I have used Watts products before and have found them easy to use and of excellent quality.

Work the way it supposed to
