Nds SAT 1/2 Inch Fipt X 1/4 Inch Barb Adapter

Product Description

The NDS SAT is a threaded-to-barb transition fitting designed to connect a 1/2-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) port to 1/4-inch barbed tubing. This adapter bridges two common connection standards in a single compact fitting, making it a straightforward solution for irrigation, drainage, and fluid-transfer assemblies where FIPT-threaded inlets must interface with small-diameter flexible tubing. Weighing just 0.01 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and drainage contractors typically keep adapters of this type on hand for quick field transitions.

This fitting is suited for low-pressure fluid systems where a threaded port must transition to flexible barbed tubing. Common applications include drip irrigation laterals, drainage control assemblies, and tubing connections in residential or light commercial landscape and site-drainage systems. Its compact size makes it especially practical in tight installation spaces where larger fittings would be difficult to maneuver.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch FIPT inlet threads onto standard female iron pipe thread ports
• 1/4-inch barb outlet secures flexible tubing with a friction-grip connection
• Lightweight construction at 0.01 pounds for easy handling and transport
• Single-piece adapter eliminates need for additional couplings at the transition point
• Order increment of 1 allows purchase in exact quantities needed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard transition adapter for systems with 1/2-inch FIPT threaded ports requiring connection to 1/4-inch barbed flexible tubing in irrigation, drainage, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians. Thread the FIPT end onto the mating male-threaded port using appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to ensure a leak-free connection before tightening. Press flexible tubing firmly onto the barb end until it seats fully past the barb ridge; a hose clamp may be added for additional retention in higher-flow applications. Shut off the water supply to the system before beginning any fitting installation or replacement.
