Brass Craft Service Parts MAU2-10-8 K5 Brass Male Adapter

Product Description

The BRASS CRAFT SERVICE PARTS MAU2-10-8 K5 is a brass male adapter designed for gas and water distribution piping connections in residential and light commercial applications. It features a 5/8-inch OD flare inlet, a 15/16-16 thread interface, and a 1/2-inch male iron pipe (MIP) outlet. The body is also tapped with a 3/8-inch female iron pipe (FIP) port, allowing for a branch connection without additional fittings. Constructed from brass, this adapter provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing across multiple connection types. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically install this fitting in gas appliance supply lines and fluid distribution systems.

This adapter is suited for residential plumbing and HVAC piping applications where a flare-to-pipe-thread transition is required. The integrated 3/8-inch FIP tapped port makes it a practical choice when a branch takeoff is needed at the same connection point. It is commonly used on gas appliance hookups, water supply manifolds, and similar multi-connection scenarios. The bulk packaging format is appropriate for service shops or contractors stocking fittings for repeated use across multiple jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium on all pipe thread connections. Do not overtighten flare connections, as this can deform the flare seat and cause leaks.
