Boshart BPF-WHC Push-Fit x FPT Water Heater Connector, No-Lead Brass

The Boshart BPF-WHC is a no-lead brass push-fit x FPT water heater connector built for fast, tool-free rough-in and repair work on potable water and hydronic heating lines. As a push-fit fitting it connects copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe in any combination without soldering, flux, clamps, unions, or glue, making it a practical choice for wet, hazardous, or hard-to-drain repair situations where sweating a joint is impractical. This connector is offered across the BPF-WHC family in 1/2" and 3/4" sizes to cover common water heater supply connections, and each size ships in a 5-piece pack for stocking service trucks or completing multi-connection water heater installs.

Boshart BPF-WHC0507-18 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Boshart BPF-WHC push-fit water heater connector be used on copper, CPVC and PEX?
All three, in any combination. The BPF-WHC push-fit connector joins copper, CPVC and PEX with no soldering, flux, clamps, unions or glue, so a copper stub-out into a PEX riser is handled with the same fitting. That makes it useful on mixed-material repairs where the existing line is one material and the new run is another.
2) What sizes does the Boshart BPF-WHC water heater connector come in, and which do I need for a standard tank?
Two sizes: 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. Residential tank-type water heaters are usually nippled at 3/4 inch, so the 3/4 inch is the common choice for a heater changeout; the 1/2 inch covers smaller supply and hydronic branch connections. Part numbers are BPF-WHC0507-18 for 1/2 inch and BPF-WHC07-18 for 3/4 inch.
3) Is the threaded end on the Boshart BPF-WHC male or female?
Female pipe thread. The BPF-WHC is a push-fit x FPT connector, so the threaded side screws onto a male nipple or a male-threaded valve at the heater, and the push-fit side takes the pipe. If your heater side presents a female thread, this is not the fitting for that end.
4) Can I install a Boshart BPF-WHC push-fit connector behind a wall or underground without an access panel?
Yes. The BPF-WHC is approved for underground use and for installation behind walls, with or without an access panel. That matters on a repair in a finished wall cavity where you do not want to cut in a door just to keep the joint reachable.
5) What is the difference between the Boshart BPF-WHC water heater connector and the SharkBite UR30 Max water heater connector?
Both are push-to-connect water heater connectors, but they are built differently. The Boshart BPF-WHC is a rigid no-lead brass push-fit x FPT fitting that joins copper, CPVC, and PEX in any combination and terminates in a female pipe thread for direct connection to the heater nipple or valve; it is rotatable after assembly for alignment in tight spaces. The SharkBite UR30 Series Max water heater connector is a braided stainless steel connector, so it is a flexible hose-style assembly rather than a rigid brass fitting. Choose the Boshart BPF-WHC when you want a short, rigid threaded transition at the tank; choose a braided connector when you need flex to absorb misalignment between the tank and the existing stub-outs.
6) Will a push-fit water heater connector work if I cannot fully drain the line?
That is one of the main reasons to use it. The BPF-WHC pushes on with no torch, flux or glue, so a wet or hard-to-drain line that would never take solder can still be joined. Same for tight or hazardous spots where open flame is a problem.
7) Can I rotate the connector after it is pushed on to line up the pipe?
Yes, the fitting rotates after assembly. On a heater sitting in a closet where the riser does not land square, that lets you swing the connector into alignment instead of re-cutting pipe.
8) Is the Boshart BPF-WHC connector safe for potable water?
The body is no-lead brass and it is built for potable water as well as hydronic heating lines. Note it does carry a California Prop 65 warning for lead, which is a labeling requirement and separate from the no-lead alloy designation.
9) Can I use the Boshart BPF-WHC anywhere I would use a SharkBite UR30 Max connector?
Not in every case. Both are push-to-connect at the pipe side, so both avoid soldering, flux, clamps, and glue on copper, CPVC, or PEX. The difference is what the two do at the tank and in between. The Boshart BPF-WHC is a rigid brass fitting with a female pipe thread outlet, so it makes a direct threaded connection at the heater and holds the pipe in a fixed position. The SharkBite UR30 Series Max is a braided stainless steel connector, a flexible run between two points. Where the design calls specifically for a flexible connector, the rigid BPF-WHC is not a drop-in for it, and where you want the pipe held rigid at the tank, the braided connector is not a drop-in for the Boshart.
10) For a behind-the-wall or underground water supply connection, which push-fit water heater connector should I specify?
The Boshart BPF-WHC no-lead brass push-fit x FPT connector is approved for underground use and for installation behind walls, with or without an access panel, which is what you want for a concealed joint on potable water or a hydronic line. It is supplied in 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch sizes, 5 pieces per pack. The braided stainless steel SharkBite UR30 Series Max water heater connector is the alternative style for tank connections, but a braided flexible connector is generally an exposed, serviceable connection at the appliance rather than a concealed one.
11) How many connectors come in a pack of the Boshart BPF-WHC?
Five pieces per pack, in each size. A heater changeout typically takes two, so one pack covers a couple of jobs or stocks the truck. Buyers standardizing across a multi-family portfolio can order one size of pack per common heater connection.
12) Can I use the Boshart BPF-WHC on a hydronic heating loop, not just a water heater?
Yes. The connector is built for potable water and hydronic heating lines, and typical uses include hydronic system connections and mixed copper, CPVC or PEX transitions, not only tank supply connections.
