Midland Metal 706119-0806 Brass Reducing Coupling 1/2x3/8

Product Description

The MIDLAND METAL 706119-0806 is a lead free threaded brass reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different sizes in pressurized plumbing and fluid systems. It transitions from a 1/2 inch female thread to a 3/8 inch female thread, providing a reliable, leak-resistant joint without the need for solder or specialty tools. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up under typical water supply pressures. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction, remodel work, and repair of potable water lines where lead free compliance is required.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including supply line connections at fixtures, appliances, and distribution manifolds. It is commonly used where a 1/2 inch branch line must be reduced to a 3/8 inch outlet, such as at shutoff valves feeding sinks, toilets, or ice makers. The lead free designation makes it appropriate for use on potable water systems subject to state and federal lead free requirements.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets potable water lead free standards
• Threaded ends allow tool-only installation without solder or open flame
• Reduces 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch in a single compact fitting
• Corrosion-resistant brass body suited for water supply service
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for residential and light commercial threaded plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch reducing connection on potable water lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for potable water service to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
