Pps 691514794358 Bronze Press Adapter 1/2 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The PPS 691514794358 is a lead-free bronze reducing adapter designed for press-fit piping systems. It connects a press fitting end to a 3/4-inch female NPT thread, transitioning between a 1/2-inch press connection and a 3/4-inch threaded port. Rated to 200 psi and suitable for service temperatures from 0 to 250 degrees F, this adapter is built for demanding mechanical and plumbing applications. At 1.83 inches in length, it installs quickly using a standard press tool, eliminating open-flame soldering. Plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial and residential systems will find this fitting a straightforward solution for mixed-connection assemblies.

This adapter is listed for use across a broad range of piping applications including potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, non-medical gases, fire sprinkler systems, and low-pressure steam. Its press-fit by female NPT end style makes it well suited for connecting press-system runs into threaded equipment, manifolds, or valves. The lead-free bronze construction meets requirements for potable water service in applications where material compliance is mandated by local code.

Key Features

• Lead-free bronze construction suitable for potable water and hydronic systems
• Press fitting x FNPT end style for connecting press runs to threaded ports
• Pressure rating of 200 psi for use in high-demand piping systems
• Temperature range of 0 to 250 degrees F covers steam and chilled water service

Compatibility

Listed for potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, compressed air, non-medical gases, fire sprinkler, and low-pressure steam applications. Designed as an OEM-style press fitting replacement or addition within 1/2-inch press piping systems transitioning to 3/4-inch female NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a compatible press tool rated for the fitting size and jaw type required by the manufacturer. Shut off and depressurize the system before making any connections. Verify that the FNPT threaded joint is made with an approved thread sealant compatible with the service fluid. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM or ANSI standards for press-fit and threaded joint assembly.
