Anderson Metals Corp 756120-0806 Brass Adapter 1/2 X 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756120-0806 is a lead-free brass adapter fitting designed to transition between a 1/2-inch connection and a 3/8-inch connection in water supply and distribution systems. Constructed from brass, this adapter meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water applications where low-lead compliance is required. It is sold in a bulk pack of 10 units, making it a practical stock item for plumbing contractors, service technicians, and mechanical trades who routinely install or replace supply-line fittings.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a pipe or tubing size change is needed between 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch lines. Common applications include fixture supply connections, appliance hook-ups, and general water distribution rough-in work. The bulk packaging makes it well suited for service vans and shop stock where small-diameter brass fittings are regularly consumed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes.

Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape as appropriate for the connection type, and do not overtighten brass fittings to avoid cracking.
