It transitions from a 3\/8-inch male NPT connection to a 1\/8-inch male NPT connection, allowing technicians to reduce line size without additional adapters. Rated to 125 psi and suitable for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles a broad range of service conditions. Machined from solid brass, it delivers reliable thread engagement and corrosion resistance across compatible pipe materials. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing hex nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications where a threaded size reduction is required in a compact, inline form. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for easy installation and removal. It is compatible for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe as stated by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch MNPT to 1\/8-inch MNPT in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile accepts standard open-end or adjustable wrench for secure makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction resists corrosion in wet and gas service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact length of 1.11 inches minimizes space requirements in tight installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe.

Always depressurize and isolate the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per local code requirements before makeup. Tighten using a wrench on the hex body only — do not use pipe wrenches on finished brass surfaces where avoidable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 x 1\/8-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.68 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.060 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Hex Nipple\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 METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28221L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467698897202,"sku":"28221L","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313947021.jpg?v=1783910625","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-metal-28221l-reducing-hex-nipple-3-8x1-8-mnpt-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
