Application & User

The Nibco 604 adapter connects 3/8 inch copper tube to a 3/8 inch male pipe thread in plumbing and hydronic systems. It suits installers who need a wrot copper transition fitting rated for high pressure and a wide temperature span.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The fitting withstands a maximum pressure of 779 psi at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and operates continuously from minus 20 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Copper construction resists corrosion and maintains joint integrity through repeated thermal cycles without degradation.

Thermals, Noise & Power

As a passive metal component it generates no noise and draws no power during operation. The copper body conducts heat evenly across the joint, helping the system manage temperature extremes within the rated range while meeting ASME/ANSI B 16.22 requirements.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the copper adapter handle when it runs continuously?

The wrot copper fitting is rated from -20 °F up to 400 °F, so it stays solid through long hot-water cycles.

What pipe and tube sizes must already be in place for the C x MNPT connection?

It joins a 3/8 in nominal copper tube to a 3/8 in male NPT thread, matching the listed tube and pipe dimensions.

Will the ASME/ANSI B 16.22 marking let it work with older copper plumbing?

Yes, the ASME/ANSI B 16.22 compliance means it fits standard wrot copper fittings already installed in the system.
