Asc Engineered Solutions 20MXE.WFMJF Mechanical Joint 3/4 in Fnpt

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 20MXE.WFMJF is a brass mechanical joint fitting with a 3/4-inch nominal size and female NPT (FNPT) end style. Mechanical joint fittings are used to create secure, leak-resistant connections in piping systems without the need for soldering or threading. This fitting is constructed from brass, making it well-suited for water distribution, plumbing, and light industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a reliable mechanical connection is required. The FNPT end accepts standard tapered male pipe threads for straightforward integration into existing threaded piping runs.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including water supply lines and distribution piping. The 3/4-inch nominal size is a common dimension found in main supply runs and branch takeoffs in both new construction and retrofit work. The FNPT configuration allows direct connection to standard threaded male fittings, valves, or manifolds already in service.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in water service applications
• 3/4-inch nominal size suits common supply and branch piping configurations
• FNPT end style accepts standard male NPT threaded pipe and fittings
• Mechanical joint design eliminates the need for soldering or flame work at the connection point
• Domestic manufacture supports compliance requirements on projects specifying country-of-origin restrictions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install mechanical joint fitting for 3/4-inch nominal FNPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing any existing fitting or beginning installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before engaging the FNPT connection, and tighten to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns without over-torquing the brass body. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
