Value Collection PC116NB-2 Brass Pipe Fitting 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC116NB-2 is a 1/8 inch brass pipe fitting with female NPT (FNPT) inlet and male NPT (MNPT) outlet connections. This close nipple-style fitting is used to extend or transition threaded pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems. It carries a pressure rating of 1,000 psi and features a nickel plated finish that resists corrosion in both wet and dry service environments. The compact 1/8 inch size makes it well suited for small-diameter instrument lines, control piping, and low-flow service connections. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded male-to-female brass connection is required in a 1/8 inch pipe size. Typical uses include connecting pressure gauges, instrument taps, drain cocks, and other small-bore accessories to threaded pipe or valve bodies. The nickel plated brass construction makes it a practical choice for potable water, hydronic heating, compressed air, and refrigeration piping where corrosion resistance and leak-free assembly are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the intended service fluid to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as brass threads can crack or strip under excessive torque.
