Brennan 16018 Pipe Reducer Mnptf X Fnptf 6000 Psi

Product Description

The BRENNAN 16018 is a high-pressure pipe reducer fitting designed to transition between male NPT and female NPT threaded connections in industrial piping systems. Rated to 6000 psi, this reducer is built for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications where secure, leak-free thread engagement is critical. The MNPTF x FNPTF configuration allows in-line diameter reduction within a threaded piping run. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians are the typical installers. Package quantity is 4 units per package with a minimum order quantity of 1.

This fitting is suited for industrial and commercial piping systems that require pressure-rated threaded reductions. Common applications include hydraulic power units, high-pressure fluid lines, compressed air distribution, and industrial process piping. The tapered NPT thread form on both the male and female ends creates a mechanical seal when properly torqued with appropriate thread sealant. This fitting is typically installed wherever a line must step down in pipe size while maintaining high-pressure integrity.

Key Features

• 6000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid systems
• MNPTF x FNPTF connection type for standard tapered NPT in-line thread reduction
• Compact reducer profile for installation in tight piping layouts
• Sold in packages of 4 units for convenient stocking and service use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for industrial piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections rated for high-pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or hydraulic technician familiar with high-pressure threaded fittings. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, following the sealant manufacturer and applicable code guidance. Do not over-torque tapered NPT threads, as this can cause thread damage or fitting failure.
