Product Description

The BRAXTON HARRIS COMPANY c666-6-lf is a lead-free brass compression reducing adapter designed to transition between 3/8 inch OD tubing and 1/2 inch nominal pipe. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets potable water code requirements and delivers reliable corrosion resistance in both new construction and retrofit applications.

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 making or breaking any compression connection. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating the compression ferrule to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excess force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
