Value Collection PC120NB-62 Brass Pipe Adapter Fnpt Mnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC120NB-62 is a brass pipe adapter used to connect threaded pipe fittings of two different sizes in a single run. It accepts a 3/8 inch female NPT connection on one end and steps down to a 1/8 inch male NPT on the other, making it a reducing adapter. The nickel plated finish adds corrosion resistance over the base brass body. Rated to 125 psi, this fitting is suitable for moderate-pressure service lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of adapter where pipe size transitions are required in threaded systems.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line accessories, gas distribution headers, compressed air lines, and instrumentation connections. The FNPT x MNPT thread configuration allows it to be threaded directly between two existing male and female NPT fittings without additional couplings. Its compact size makes it well suited for tight mechanical spaces where a bulkier fitting would not clear adjacent components.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/8 inch FNPT to 1/8 inch MNPT in a single fitting
• Rated to 125 psi for moderate-pressure applications
• Nickel plated finish over brass for added corrosion resistance
• Brass construction provides good machinability and thread integrity
• Compact form factor fits in tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded pipe systems using standard NPT connections in plumbing, HVAC, and compressed air applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical technicians. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard trade practice. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and threads can be damaged under excessive torque.
