Pps 691514793009 Press X Fnpt Pipe Adapter 1/2 in Bronze

Product Description

The PPS 691514793009 is a lead-free bronze pipe adapter designed to transition between a press-style connection and a female NPT threaded fitting in a single compact body. At 1.61 inches in length and rated for 200 psi and temperatures from 0 to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding mechanical systems in residential and commercial applications. The press end eliminates the need for open flame during installation, making it a preferred choice for renovation and retrofit work where fire risk must be minimized. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This adapter is suited for a wide range of fluid and gas systems including potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, non-medical gases, fire sprinkler systems, and low pressure steam. The 1/2-inch nominal size is one of the most common sizes in residential and light commercial piping systems. Its press-by-FNPT end configuration allows integration into existing threaded piping runs without soldering or welding, and the lead-free bronze construction meets requirements for potable water contact.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using an approved press tool rated for the fitting size and end style. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before beginning work, and verify the pipe end is clean, round, and free of burrs before pressing. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for press fitting installations. Do not attempt to press a fitting on a pressurized or wet line.
