Anderson Metals 756119-0802 Pipe Coupling Fnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756119-0802 is a reducing pipe coupling with dual female NPT threads sized 1/2-14 and 1/8-27, designed to connect two threaded pipe segments of different diameters in a straight-line run. It uses FNPT (female national pipe taper) connections on both ends and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,000 psi. The coupling is lead free, making it suitable for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during new construction and service work where a reducer coupling is needed between mismatched pipe sizes.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems across several fluid and gas service types. It is rated for use with potable water, grease, fuels, and LP and natural gas lines. Its compact size and standard NPT thread form make it a common stock item for service vans and shop inventories where reducing fittings are needed on short notice across plumbing, gas, and fuel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off the water, fuel, or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer and code-specified requirements. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack the fitting or damage mating threads.
