Value Collection PC120NB-64 Brass Pipe Adapter Fnpt X Mnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC120NB-64 is a brass pipe adapter designed to connect female NPT and male NPT threaded fittings of different sizes. It steps down from a 3/8-inch FNPT inlet to a 1/4-inch MNPT outlet, making it suitable for reducing or transitioning between pipe sizes in pressurized systems. The adapter carries a 125 psi pressure rating and features a nickel-plated finish over brass construction. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use this fitting when adapting supply lines, instrument connections, or equipment ports in both residential and light commercial applications.

This adapter is used in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic systems where a threaded size reduction between 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch NPT connections is required. Typical install scenarios include connecting smaller-diameter instrumentation, gauges, or control valves to larger supply lines. The nickel-plated finish provides added corrosion resistance in environments where bare brass may be exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. It is sold individually and is appropriate for field repairs, equipment servicing, or new installations.

Key Features

• Steps down from 3/8-inch FNPT to 1/4-inch MNPT for in-line size reduction
• Rated to 125 psi for use in low-to-medium pressure systems
• Nickel-plated finish over brass for improved corrosion resistance
• NPT threads on both ends allow standard tapered thread engagement
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field fitting for any system requiring a 3/8-inch FNPT to 1/4-inch MNPT threaded pipe adapter rated at 125 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack; hand-tighten and finish with a wrench to achieve a proper seal without stressing the fitting.
