Value Collection PC116NB-6 Brass Pipe Fitting 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC116NB-6 is a 3/8-inch brass pipe fitting with female NPT (FNPT) inlet and male NPT (MNPT) outlet connections. It carries a 1,000 psi pressure rating and features a nickel-plated finish that resists corrosion and provides a clean appearance in visible installations. This fitting is used to extend, transition, or terminate threaded pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and service work where a female-to-male threaded connection is required. At 0.17 pounds, it is compact and easy to handle in tight spaces.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where 3/8-inch threaded connections are standard. Common install scenarios include supply line transitions, valve connections, and instrument ports in water, air, and compatible fluid systems. The FNPT x MNPT configuration makes it useful wherever a running nipple or extension is needed in a threaded brass piping assembly. It is sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
