Midland Metal 706119-0804 Brass Reducing Coupling 1/2x1/4

Product Description

The MIDLAND METAL 706119-0804 is a lead-free threaded brass reducing coupling designed to connect two different pipe sizes in a pressurized fluid or gas line. It reduces a 1/2-inch threaded connection down to a 1/4-inch threaded connection, making it a standard fitting for plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing under typical system pressures. At 0.14 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight installations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use this coupling when reconfiguring supply lines, instrumentation ports, or branch connections.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded 1/2-inch line must transition to a 1/4-inch threaded port or fitting. Common installation scenarios include gauge ports, pressure tap connections, water supply branch lines, and compressed air fittings. The lead-free designation makes it appropriate for potable water systems where lead-free material compliance is required by local plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• Reduces 1/2-inch threaded inlet to 1/4-inch threaded outlet
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.14 pounds
• Threaded connection style for tool-installed, removable fitment
• Suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducing coupling for use in standard 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch NPT plumbing and HVAC piping configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the gas or air line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than ferrous pipe. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the system type being serviced.
