Apollo Tectite Water Heater Connector
This connector joins a water heater to copper PEX or CPVC supply lines using a push-to-connect fitting on one side and a female pipe thread on the other. It is intended for residential hot and cold water installations where a quick tool-free connection is preferred. The braided stainless steel hose provides flexibility for alignment in tight spaces.
Push-to-Connect and FNPT ends
The push-to-connect end accepts copper PEX or CPVC pipe without soldering crimping or glue. The 1 in female pipe thread end threads onto the water heater nipple after pipe thread tape is applied. This combination eliminates the need for separate adapters and reduces installation time compared with traditional sweat or threaded joints.
Length and material constraints
The 24 in braided stainless steel length limits the reach between the water heater and the supply pipes. Installations requiring a longer or shorter run must select a different length from the 12 in to 24 in range. The connector is not supplied with a ball valve so a separate shut-off must be provided if local code requires one.

Questions about this item
Will the push-to-connect end need a special tool to remove it if I replace the water heater later?
The Tectite push-to-connect end releases with a standard disconnect clip or tool; no soldering or crimping is required, so future replacement only needs the clip and basic pliers.
What pressure or temperature limit will I hit first if the heater runs continuously?
The connector is rated for standard residential hot-water pressure and temperature; the braided stainless construction handles typical tank conditions without a lower published limit.
Does the braided hose transmit vibration or heat into the surrounding cabinet during all-day operation?
The flexible stainless braid absorbs vibration and the FNPT end seals with thread tape, so heat transfer and noise stay minimal during continuous use.
