Installation Guide
OVERVIEW
Brass Push To Connect Fittings
Tectite by Apollo Push-To-Connect fittings are the fastest, cleanest and simplest way to join any combination of copper, CPVC, PE-RT and 
PEX pipe without the use of tools, solder, open flame or glue.
Simply insert the pipe to allow the high-strength stainless steel teeth to grip the pipe securely against the specially designed O-ring. 
Fitting removal and reuse is just as simple using a simple demount clip (sold separately). After assembly, fittings may be rotated for 
simpler installation in tight spaces.
All Tectite by Apollo fittings are approved for use in both potable water and hydronic heating piping systems.
Features:
• Constructed of lead free dezincification resistant (DZR) brass for superior reliability
• Push-to-connect joints require no heat, solder, solvents or tools
• Push-to-connect design allows for a simple and fast installation on any combination of copper, PEX, CPVC or PE-RT pipe
• Corrosion resistant for greater longevity
• Lifetime warranty on most fittings. Refer to Apollo Warranty on www.apolloflow.com for item specific information.
Specifications:
• Maximum Working Pressure: 200 psi
• Temperature Range: 32º-250º F
• Approved for behind-the-wall with no access and burial
