Anderson Metals Corp 756120-0604 Brass Adapter 3/8x1/4

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756120-0604 is a lead-free brass adapter designed to connect 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch fittings in plumbing and fluid handling systems. Sold in a bulk pack of 10 units, this adapter is manufactured from brass and complies with the lead-free requirements established under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting wherever a reduction or transition between these two common line sizes is required. Its compact size and standard thread geometry allow for fast field installation with minimal tooling.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch transition is needed. Typical applications include supply line connections, compression fittings, and instrument or appliance inlet lines. The bulk pack of 10 makes it practical for service contractors and plumbing shops that frequently stock small-diameter brass fittings. Because it meets Public Law 111-380 lead-free standards, it is appropriate for potable water service lines in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free plumbing codes.

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 fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded connections as required by the fitting type. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can damage threads or crack the fitting body.
