EZ-FLUID 1 in Press Slip Coupling No Stop - Heavy Duty Copper

In this review of the EZ-FLUID 1 in Press Slip Coupling No Stop, the bottom line is simple: this fitting is aimed at plumbers and contractors who need a straightforward repair or splice solution for copper tubing. It stands out because it omits the internal roll pipe tube stop, allowing the press end to slide over Type M, L or K copper for flexible installation. The review finds it particularly useful where a traditional stop would impede access or alignment, and it performs well for potable water and commercial plumbing applications.

Key Features

• Lead free construction: Built from lead free copper so it is safe for potable drinking water and meets NSF-61 requirements for peace of mind on drinking water lines.
• No stop design: The slip style without a roll pipe tube stop gives installers room to position tubing ends for repairs or tight alignments where a fixed stop would be restrictive.
• Tool compatibility: Sizes 1/2 in to 2 in are compatible with common press tool brands like Ridgid, Milwaukee and Nibco, streamlining use with existing tool fleets.
• Commercial and residential use: Rated for both residential and commercial plumbing so it can handle potable water and typical building services without changing product lines.
• ProPress style connection: The press copper fitting connection provides a reliable mechanical seal when installed with the correct press tool and jaw.

Who It's For

This coupling is best for professional plumbers, service technicians and experienced DIYers who already use press tools for copper tubing repairs and installations. It especially benefits those handling repairs where precise tube insertion depth is needed or where access makes a fixed stop impractical.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require an internal stop for consistent insertion depth without measuring, or projects that specify threaded or soldered joints. If you lack a compatible press tool, you will need to acquire the proper press jaws to use these fittings.
