Value Collection PC120NB-84 Brass Pipe Adapter 1/2 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC120NB-84 is a brass pipe adapter designed to connect a 1/2-inch female NPT port to a 1/4-inch male NPT port, making it a reliable solution for reducing pipe sizes within pressurized fluid or gas systems. The adapter features a nickel-plated finish for added corrosion resistance and carries a 125 psi pressure rating. It is used in plumbing, pneumatic, and general industrial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting in commercial and residential applications.

This adapter is suited for installations where a 1/2-inch FNPT supply line or port must transition down to a 1/4-inch MNPT connection. Common applications include compressed air distribution, water supply lines, instrumentation hookups, and HVAC-related piping where pressure does not exceed 125 psi. The nickel-plated brass construction provides durability in both dry and wet service environments.

Key Features

• Reduces 1/2-inch FNPT to 1/4-inch MNPT in a single fitting
• Rated to 125 psi for use in pressurized fluid and gas systems
• Nickel-plated finish enhances corrosion and tarnish resistance
• Brass base material provides reliable thread integrity and long service life
• Standard NPT threads ensure broad compatibility with existing piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for any 1/2-inch FNPT to 1/4-inch MNPT threaded connection in plumbing, pneumatic, or industrial piping systems rated up to 125 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male NPT threads before assembly and hand-tighten before using a wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the 125 psi pressure rating of this fitting in service.
