What is included with each part number?

When ordering TUFFLOK parts, the obvious question is: What is in the box? A short description of each part category with items included will help contractors better understand what to expect.
Note:
All parts shipped together unassembled. A contractor needs to assemble all couplers as required. Contact us if you need parts to be pre-assembled.
First, let’s talk about copper piping. There are two categories of pipes, soft and hard. Some inserts for couplers must be used with soft, some with hard, and some will accommodate both soft or hard pipes. Ball valves use black inserts to accommodate different copper pipe wall thickness.
Caution:
It is important to remember to use the correct insert for each application.
We manufacture three different types of inserts. Each one is designed to correctly perform with specific copper type.
Soft copper: Use Yellow color inserts
Hard copper: Use Silver color inserts
Ball valves: Use Black color inserts
Each component we manufacture starts with the prefix which identifies the component. These prefixes also the same for components that are ETL listed.
