Dakota Sourcing 13214 Copper Female Adapter 7/8 Od X 3/4 Fpt

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 13214 is a copper female adapter fitting designed to transition between copper tubing and female pipe thread connections. With a 7/8 inch outside diameter and a 3/4 inch inside diameter on the sweat end, paired with a 3/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) port, this adapter makes a reliable mechanical and pressure connection in potable water, HVAC hydronic, and general plumbing systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a copper sweat connection must mate to a threaded pipe or valve inlet. The all-copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Common applications include connecting copper supply lines to threaded shutoff valves, water heater inlets and outlets, pressure gauges, and other threaded fittings. The sweat-by-FPT configuration is a standard configuration encountered throughout domestic water supply and HVAC hydronic piping systems. A licensed plumber typically handles installation in jurisdictions where plumbing permits are required.

Key Features

• 7/8 inch OD sweat end compatible with standard copper tubing
• 3/4 inch FPT threaded end connects directly to threaded valves and fittings
• All-copper construction for corrosion resistance in potable and non-potable water systems
• Sweat-by-FPT configuration eliminates need for additional transition fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation copper sweat-by-FPT adapter for use with standard copper tubing in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering or threading. Clean and flux the copper tube end thoroughly before applying heat, and allow the joint to cool completely before restoring pressure. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engaging the FPT connection.
