Brennan 16017 Pipe Reducer Mnptf X Fnptf 6000 Psi

Product Description

The BRENNAN 16017 is a high-pressure pipe reducer designed for industrial fluid system applications. It features a male NPT (MNPTF) inlet and a female NPT (FNPTF) outlet, allowing technicians to step down pipe thread sizes within a pressurized line. Rated to 6,000 psi, this reducer is built for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and industrial piping systems where pressure integrity and thread-seal reliability are critical. Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, industrial mechanics, or qualified plumbing tradespeople following standard NPT thread assembly practices.

This reducer is suited for industrial piping runs where a transition from a larger male NPT thread to a smaller female NPT thread is required. Typical applications include hydraulic manifold assemblies, compressed air distribution lines, and high-pressure fluid transfer systems found in manufacturing, processing, and utility environments. The MNPTF x FNPTF configuration provides a straight, inline connection with a standard tapered thread engagement for a pressure-rated seal.

Key Features

• Pressure rating of 6,000 psi for high-demand industrial service
• MNPTF x FNPTF connection type for inline pipe thread reduction
• Tapered NPT threads provide a reliable metal-to-metal seal with appropriate thread sealant
• Compact form factor suitable for tight plumbing and manifold configurations
• UNSPSC Code 40175305 for procurement and classification systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections rated to 6,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or industrial mechanic familiar with NPT thread assembly. Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; do not over-tighten, as NPT fittings seal on thread engagement and excessive torque can crack or distort the fitting. Follow applicable plumbing and piping codes, including IPC and ASME B1.20.1 guidelines for NPT thread assembly.
