Sioux Chief 685-C CPVC x Copper Press-Fit Transition Fitting
The Sioux Chief 685-C is a CPVC x copper transition fitting designed to join CPVC piping to a plain copper end that accepts a standard press-fitting tool connection, available in 1" and 1-1/4" sizes to match standard copper tube size (CTS) rough-in requirements. This fitting provides a mechanical-only connection — no soldering, heat, or cutting is required or permitted on the copper press end. The CPVC resin used in this fitting has been tested and is monitored on an ongoing basis to assure chemical compatibility with FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster® and Corzan® piping systems, as well as products made with TempRite® Technology. This makes the 685-C a reliable rough-in choice for plumbers transitioning between CPVC and copper tube systems using press technology rather than solvent welding or sweat soldering, and it supports both residential rough-in work and fire-protection piping applications where branded CPVC systems are specified.
Key Features

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief manufactures the 685-C transition fitting line with CPVC resin that is tested and continuously monitored for compatibility with major branded CPVC piping systems, giving contractors confidence when bridging CPVC and copper tube on the same run in either the 1" or 1-1/4" size.
