Anderson Metals Corp 756119-0802 Brass Bell Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756119-0802 is a brass bell reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in a single threaded fitting. It transitions from a 1/2 inch female thread on the larger end to a 1/8 inch female thread on the smaller end. Constructed from lead-free brass, this coupling meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. It is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a threaded line must step down in pipe size without additional adapters.

This bell reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where NPT threaded connections require a size reduction. Typical installations include water supply lines, low-pressure gas distribution piping, and compressed air systems where a 1/2 inch to 1/8 inch step-down is needed. The lead-free brass construction satisfies code requirements in jurisdictions that enforce Public Law 111-380 compliance for fixtures and fittings in contact with potable water.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction compliant with Public Law 111-380 for potable water installations
• Bell-style reducing coupling transitions 1/2 inch female thread to 1/8 inch female thread
• Standard NPT threaded ends for compatibility with common threaded pipe systems
• Sold in bulk packs of 5 units for job-site or shop stocking
• Compact form factor reduces the need for additional adapter fittings at size-reduction points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inch to 1/8 inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
