A.Y. McDonald 5182-063 1" Lead-Free CTS Compression x FIP Service Adapter

The A.Y. McDonald 5182-063 is a 1" lead-free service adapter built for rough-in water service connections, transitioning from a CTS (copper tube size) compression end to an FIP (female iron pipe) threaded end. Identified in the manufacturer catalog as model 74754Q, this fitting is designed to join copper tubing or CTS-sized plastic service tubing directly to threaded iron pipe fittings, meters, or valves without soldering. As a lead-free (LF) fitting, it is manufactured for use in potable water service lines where reduced-lead content is required. This adapter is a behind-the-wall / underground rough-in component intended for licensed plumbers and utility contractors making up water service connections, not a decorative or exposed fixture.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1" CTS compression inlet for direct connection to copper or CTS-sized plastic service tubing.
  • Connection Type: CTS Compression x FIP configuration allows a solder-free, mechanical joint on one end and a threaded iron-pipe connection on the other.
  • Lead-Free Construction: Manufactured to LF (lead-free) specification for use where low-lead water service fittings are required.
  • Model Designation: Identified as A.Y. McDonald catalog model 74754Q for cross-reference and reorder.
  • Service Adapter Design: Purpose-built to transition water service tubing to threaded pipe, valves, meters, or curb stops in underground or rough-in installations.

Technical Specifications

  • Size: 1" CTS x FIP
  • Connection: Compression x Female Iron Pipe Thread
  • Lead Content: Lead-Free (LF)
  • Model: 74754Q

Typical Applications

A.Y. McDonald 5182-063 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the A.Y. McDonald 5182-000 and 5182-063 service adapters?
Both are 1 inch CTS compression service adapters; the threaded end is what separates them. The 5182-000 gives you a male iron pipe (MIP) thread, so it screws into a female-threaded valve, meter coupling, or curb stop. The 5182-063 gives you a female iron pipe (FIP) thread, so it takes a male-threaded nipple or valve. Pick the one that mates with the thread already on the other side of your connection.
2) Will a 1 inch CTS compression adapter work on 1 inch copper water service tubing?
Yes. The compression end on the 5182 is sized for CTS (copper tube size), so it makes up directly on 1 inch copper tubing or 1 inch CTS-sized plastic service tubing. It will not fit IPS-sized plastic pipe, which runs a different outside diameter, so confirm your tubing is CTS before you cut.
3) Is this A.Y. McDonald service adapter lead free for potable water lines?
It is a no-lead fitting, manufactured to lead-free (LF) specification for potable water service where reduced-lead content is required. That covers municipal and residential water service connections on the supply side.
4) Do I have to solder this adapter onto the copper service line?
No soldering. The compression end makes a mechanical joint on the tubing, which is why this fitting gets used in wet trenches and tight rough-in spots where a torch is impractical. Only the iron pipe end is threaded.
5) Can I use the 5182 adapter above ground on finished fixture work?
It is not meant for that. The 5182 is a behind-the-wall and underground rough-in component for water service make-up, not a decorative or exposed fixture fitting. Use it on the service run, at the meter, valve, or curb stop connection.
6) Can I use this adapter to tie a plastic water service line into a threaded meter yoke?
That is exactly the job it is built for. The compression end takes CTS-sized plastic service tubing or copper, and the iron pipe thread lands on meters, valves, or curb stops. Choose 5182-000 if the meter side is female threaded, 5182-063 if it is male threaded.
7) What is the A.Y. McDonald catalog number for the 1 inch CTS compression x FIP service adapter?
The FIP version is ordered as 5182-063 and cross-references to A.Y. McDonald catalog model 74754Q. The MIP version of the same 1 inch adapter is 5182-000.
