Midland Industries 9661616FLLF Pack Joint Adapter 1in Fip X Flare

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9661616FLLF is a lead-free bronze pack joint adapter designed to connect a 1-inch female iron pipe (FIP) thread to a 1-inch flare fitting. This adapter is used in gas and water distribution lines where a threaded pipe connection must transition to a compression-style flare fitting. The lead-free bronze construction meets drinking water compliance requirements, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers. At 1.125 pounds and compact in size, this fitting is straightforward to integrate into new installations or retrofit work.

This pack joint adapter fits into residential and light commercial plumbing systems where FIP-threaded pipe must mate with a flare-type fitting. Typical applications include supply lines for water heaters, appliance connections, and gas distribution piping where local codes require flare fittings at the appliance connection point. The 1-inch x 1-inch sizing suits main supply runs rather than branch or fixture lines. It is commonly used by plumbers and HVAC technicians working on boiler, water heater, and gas appliance rough-ins.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 1-inch FIP to 1-inch flare transition in plumbing or gas piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Shut off the water supply or gas service and relieve all line pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FIP threads; do not apply sealant to the flare seating surface. Inspect the flare connection seat for damage before assembly and do not overtighten, as bronze fittings can be damaged by excessive force.
