It serves as a transition fitting in plumbing, refrigeration, and mechanical systems where a compression tube connection must terminate at a threaded female port. The body is machined from brass, rated for 150 psi working pressure across a wide temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F. The 0.94-inch hex flat makes it wrenchable for field installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors use this fitting where tubing transitions to a threaded pipe connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing must interface with a 1\/2-inch female NPT port. Typical install scenarios include refrigeration service lines, water supply tubing connections, and low-pressure pneumatic or fluid-handling systems. The light pattern designation indicates a compact form factor appropriate for space-constrained installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-inch compression inlet to 1\/2-inch FNPTF outlet transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and HVAC environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 150 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.94-inch hex flat for standard wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing in compression-to-female NPT fitting applications.

Shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Verify thread compatibility and tubing OD before assembly; use thread sealant on NPT threads as required by local plumbing code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (Compression)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (FNPTF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\/16-18 x 1\/2-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.135 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18162L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948459917618,"sku":"18162L","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8020eff6d093d2d14ed75407f2037e30.jpg?v=1791664275","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-18162l-light-pattern-adapter-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
