5. Adhesive Fittings Currently: ½ - 2” offering....over 180 items Soon: 2½ - 4” offering...over 250 items Standard (solder) wall thickness Made in USA with 75-years of experience Rated for 250psi systems up to 180°F

6. Fitting Notes MUELLER INDUSTRIES, INC. - CONFIDENTIAL Stampings on each cup... One side: “ST” for StreamTECH Size notation Other side:“NSF-61” for potable water Press tool will not fit elbows, tees, adapters, unions, or valves No cast fittings (ex-drop ear ell) Two-piece flange body

7. Structural Adhesive Two-part epoxy Standard formula –Black appearance – 20 min. of working life –180 min. to pressure test Quick-set formula in development Simple, low-cost applicator NSF approved MUELLER INDUSTRIES, INC. - CONFIDENTIAL

8. Engineered Seals High-chlorination resistant (inc. chloramines) One-way “lip-seal” design –Easy insertion - Compensates for eccentricity –Strong seal - Resists cuts 63% more surface contact than o-rings Engineered Seal

9. Valve Partnership Sold by Apollo Valves (Conbraco) Utilize identical design and seal Currently: – ½ - 2” Bronze ball valve – 77 Series

10. Installation Steps Step 1 - After cutting and deburring tube, clean tube surface with an alcohol wipe. Step 2 - Mark tube to depth of insertion plus ½”. Step 3 - Place a small ribbon of adhesive around the tube and, above 1”, inside the fitting. Step 4 - Push fitting on the tube, making a ¼-turn motion, forcing a bead of excess adhesive out of the joint. Step 5 - Position fitting as needed. Then, allow joint to cure prior to pressure testing.

11. Top 10 Reasons to use an Adhesive Fitting System 10.Allows repositioning of fittings during installation 9.Seals tube imperfections that conventional O-rings alone cannot 8.Integrates primary and secondary sealing mechanisms 7.Adhesive developed in partnership with 3M Corporation 6.Installs with no electricity, gas, or VOCs...environmentally friendly 5.Joining is fast and intuitive – little training required 4.Offers superior performance to press, push, CPVC, and PEX 3.Uses reliable, lightweight, inexpensive wrot copper fittings 2.Does not require expensive, cumbersome tools for installation 1.Offers lowest installed cost of a copper plumbing system MUELLER INDUSTRIES, INC. - CONFIDENTIAL

12. Tension (PULL) Test Determines shear-force capacity of assembly
