It transitions from a 3\/4-inch male NPTF thread on one end to a 3\/8-inch male NPTF thread on the other, with an overall length of 1.771 inches. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting is rated to 7300 psi and can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. The hex body profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this fitting in high-pressure and high-temperature piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a reduction between 3\/4-inch and 3\/8-inch NPTF male connections is required. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight, dryseal connection without relying solely on thread sealant. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media, marine environments, chemical service lines, and sanitary piping systems where material compatibility is a critical factor. It is a common component in hydraulic, pneumatic, steam, and fluid transfer systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 3\/4-inch male NPTF to 3\/8-inch male NPTF in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 7,300 psi for use in high-pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature rated to 1,000 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex body design allows wrench-flat engagement for secure torquing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1 dimension standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3\/4-inch to 3\/8-inch male NPTF pipe connections in high-pressure fluid, steam, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with NPTF dryseal thread connections and applicable codes including ASME and ANSI standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape as required by the application, even though NPTF threads are designed for dryseal service. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling of threads can occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-14 x 3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.771 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7,300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.225 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: SS5404-12-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950573617458,"sku":"SS5404-12-06","price":27.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/94babec1e146594928b9b83bb9ced2f7_231c5d7d-029a-4185-8a3a-a02afd69a7d2.jpg?v=1791721850","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-ss5404-12-06-reducing-hex-nipple-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
