Anderson Metals Corp 738119-0806 Brass Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738119-0806 is a rough brass reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in plumbing supply systems. It transitions from a 1/2-inch connection to a 3/8-inch connection and is manufactured in rough brass for reliable performance in water supply applications. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water installations where lead-free fittings are mandated. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.

This reducing coupling is used in water supply lines where a reduction in pipe diameter is required between two threaded connections. Typical applications include under-sink supply lines, fixture shutoff connections, and branch line transitions in residential and light commercial plumbing. Its rough brass construction makes it appropriate for concealed or utility installations where a finished appearance is not required. The fitting is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns specified by local code or fitting manufacturer guidance — do not overtighten brass fittings as this may cause cracking. Inspect for leaks after restoring water pressure.
