Merit Brass C102-06 Brass Pipe Fitting 3/8 in Fnpt Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS C102-06 is a Class 125 brass pipe fitting with female NPT connections on both ends, sized at 3/8 inch. It is designed for use in low-pressure plumbing, HVAC, and fluid distribution systems where a reliable threaded union point is required. The FNPT x FNPT configuration allows direct threaded connection to male-threaded pipe or fittings on each side. At 0.15 pounds, the fitting is compact and suited for tight installation spaces. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians reach for Class 125 brass fittings for water, air, and light oil service lines where corrosion resistance and leak-tight threading are critical.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. It is commonly installed on water supply branches, compressed air distribution lines, and HVAC hydronic piping. The 3/8 inch size fits standard pipe runs where flow demand is moderate and space constraints favor smaller-diameter components. Installers working on boiler feed lines, domestic water distribution, or pneumatic controls will find this fitting a standard replacement or new-construction component.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excess torque.
