Pps 691514160689 Bronze Press Adapter 1-1/2 in Press X Mnpt

Product Description

The PPS 691514160689 is a lead-free bronze pipe adapter designed for press-connect plumbing and gas piping systems. It features a 1-1/2 inch Press x Male NPT (MNPT) end configuration, allowing a press-tool connection on one side and a threaded male connection on the other. Rated to 125 psi and a temperature range of -40 to 180 degrees F, this adapter is built for reliable service in demanding mechanical and gas piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a transition from a press-system line to a threaded fitting or valve is required.

This adapter is suited for natural gas, LP gas, and fuel oil piping applications. It is used in both residential and light commercial systems wherever a press-to-thread transition is needed, such as at appliance connections, shutoff valves, or service points. The lead-free bronze construction meets potable and non-potable system requirements where code mandates lead-free materials. The ProPress-style end requires a compatible press tool for proper installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool with the appropriate jaw or ring for 1-1/2 inch ProPress-style fittings — consult the press tool manufacturer for correct jaw selection. Shut off gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work; follow all applicable local codes, IFGC requirements, and manufacturer instructions. Inspect the pipe end for burrs or ovality and clean it before insertion to ensure a proper seal. This fitting must be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter where code requires it.
