A 1/2-inch universal pipe connector (commonly known as a "4-part universal connector") is a multi-functional adapter specifically designed for mainstream 1/2-inch water pipes. Its primary function is to flexibly connect various interface types under the 1/2-inch standard—such as female threads, male threads, quick-connect fittings, and flexible hoses—eliminating the need for multiple single-purpose connectors. It effectively addresses the common issue of mismatched pipe connections in household and small-scale plumbing applications.
