1/2 In. Barb In To X 1/2 In. D PEX Barb Brass Coupling

The Apollo EPXBC1212 is a brass coupling designed to facilitate connections between polybutylene pipe and PEX-A tubing in residential and commercial plumbing systems. This fitting serves as a critical transition component, enabling upgrades or repairs where different pipe materials must be joined reliably. Whether you're modernizing an older polybutylene system, mixing materials in a hybrid installation, or working on water delivery and hydronic heating or cooling applications, this coupling provides a straightforward solution for creating leak-free connections.

This barb x polybutylene coupling is engineered to deliver consistent performance and requires use of a cold-expansion tool (sold separately) to ensure a secure, consistent fit. The expansion design enables a reliable connection between the two different pipe types, making this Apollo fitting a practical choice for plumbing transitions.
