The hex shoulder provides a secure wrench flat for tightening without deforming the fitting body. Sized to transition from 1\/2 inch male pipe thread to 3\/8 inch male pipe thread, this nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic, and gas-distribution applications where a compact threaded reduction is required. Manufactured to a weighted average lead content of no more than 0.25% on wetted surfaces, it meets low-lead compliance requirements for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used wherever a threaded piping run must step down from 1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch in a single fitting. Common applications include supply line transitions at fixtures, valve inlets, water heater connections, and manifold outlets. The hex-shoulder design allows installation in tight spaces where standard nipples would require additional clearance for a pipe wrench. The fitting is sold individually and is also available in bags for multi-unit jobs or stocking inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/2 inch MPT to 3\/8 inch MPT in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex shoulder provides positive wrench grip for controlled installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction offers corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-lead compliant: no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale pipe thread on both ends for direct in-line threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread OEM-style reducing nipple compatible with any 1\/2 inch and 3\/8 inch NPT female-threaded fittings, valves, or fixtures in residential and commercial plumbing piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this fitting into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex shoulder with a properly sized wrench to seat the fitting without cracking the mating female fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Pipe Thread (MPT) x Male Pipe Thread (MPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Content\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25% maximum weighted average on wetted surfaces (low-lead compliant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00719852951551\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 756123-0806\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347870122290,"sku":"756123-0806","price":36.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547275.jpg?v=1782115238","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-756123-0806-reducing-hex-brass-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
