Matco-norca ibma03lf Lead Free Brass Mip Adapter 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA ibma03lf is a lead free yellow brass iron by male pipe thread (IXMPT) adapter sized at 1/2 inch. This fitting connects iron pipe threads to male pipe threads, providing a reliable transition point in potable water and general plumbing supply lines. Constructed from lead free yellow brass, the ibma03lf meets modern compliance standards for drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter during new construction and retrofit work where dissimilar pipe thread connections need to be joined without leaks or corrosion concerns.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Typical installations include supply line connections at fixtures, valves, and water distribution manifolds where a 1/2 inch iron pipe to male pipe thread transition is required. The lead free brass construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water systems subject to lead content regulations.

Key Features

• Lead free yellow brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 1/2 inch sizing fits standard iron pipe thread configurations
• Iron by male pipe thread (IXMPT) design enables straight thread-to-thread transitions

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can crack the fitting or damage mating threads.
