A cast copper male adapter transitions soldered copper tube to external male pipe threads, so a copper line can thread into a valve, meter or female-threaded fitting. Moonshine Bath stocks cast copper male adapters (sweat to MIP) in common sizes for water supply transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sweat to MIP copper adapter?
It has a solder or sweat cup on one end to join copper tube and male iron pipe (MIP) threads on the other to screw into a threaded female fitting or valve. It bridges soldered and threaded systems.
Should I solder before or after threading?
Thread the adapter into the valve or fitting first if heat could damage the threaded component, or solder the cup end first and let it cool. Avoid heating near plastic or rubber valve seats.
