Dakota Sourcing 13206 Copper Male Adapter 7/8 in Od X 3/4 in Mpt

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 13206 is a copper male adapter fitting designed to transition between copper tubing and male pipe thread connections. With a 7/8-inch outer diameter copper sweat end and a 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) outlet, this fitting allows a soldered copper connection to mate with a threaded female port on valves, equipment, or distribution manifolds. It is a standard fitting used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of adapter when connecting copper supply or return lines to threaded components.

This adapter is suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing rough-in work. The sweat-by-MPT configuration makes it a common choice when transitioning from a copper tubing run to a threaded valve, pump, boiler connection, or fixture fitting. It performs in both hot and cold water applications typical of residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch OD copper sweat (C) inlet for direct soldering to standard copper tubing
• 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) outlet for connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in water systems
• Compact adapter profile fits standard rough-in and equipment connection scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for copper plumbing and hydronic systems requiring a sweat-to-male-thread transition at 7/8-inch OD copper by 3/4-inch MPT.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. The sweat end requires proper flux application and soldering with lead-free solder in compliance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the MPT threads before threading into the mating female fitting to ensure a leak-free joint.
