Midland Industries 06120-0806 Brass Extender Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 06120-0806 is a light pattern brass extender adapter designed to connect 1/2-inch female NPTF threads to 3/8-inch male NPTF threads in pipe assemblies. This fitting transitions between two different thread sizes while extending the connection point, making it useful in tight or offset plumbing configurations. Rated to 1200 psi and capable of handling temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F, it suits a wide range of fluid and gas service applications. The 0.93-inch hex and compact 1.1-inch body length allow installation in confined spaces. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of adapter in both new construction and retrofit work.

This extender adapter is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial pipe systems where a reducing connection with an extended reach is needed. It is compatible for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe systems. The 1/2-14 x 3/8-18 thread specification matches standard NPTF tapered thread dimensions used across these pipe materials. Its pressure rating makes it appropriate for compressed air, water, oil, and many non-corrosive gas lines in typical mechanical system installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten - use the hex flats and a properly sized wrench to avoid cracking the fitting body.
