Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756120-0804 is a lead free brass pipe adapter designed to connect a 1/4-18 male NPT thread to a 1/2-14 female NPT thread. This fitting allows technicians to transition between two different NPT pipe sizes within a single threaded connection. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure, it is built for demanding service in plumbing, HVAC, and fuel system applications. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for use in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas service professionals install this type of adapter during system assembly and repair.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and gas service technicians. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings.
