Value Collection PC123NB-84 Brass Hex Nipple Reducer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC123NB-84 is a brass hex nipple reducer designed to connect two male-threaded pipe sections of different diameters in a single inline fitting. It reduces from a 1/2-inch male thread to a 1/4-inch male thread and is rated to 1000 psi, making it suitable for moderate-pressure plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications. The nickel-plated finish adds corrosion resistance over the brass base material. This fitting is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on compressed air lines, water distribution systems, and general pipe assemblies.

This hex nipple reducer is used wherever a threaded pipe run must step down from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch male NPT connections. Common applications include compressed air distribution manifolds, hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and plumbing rough-in work in both residential and light commercial settings. The hex body allows wrench engagement for proper torque during installation without damaging the fitting body.

Key Features

• Reduces 1/2-inch male thread to 1/4-inch male thread in a single inline fitting
• Rated to 1000 psi for use in compressed air, water, and fluid-transfer lines
• Nickel-plated finish over brass for added corrosion resistance
• Hex body profile accepts standard open-end or adjustable wrench
• Compact nipple form factor keeps pipe runs tight and low-profile

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT hex nipple reducer for use in 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch male-to-male threaded pipe connections in plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads per the applicable plumbing code before assembly. Use two wrenches where possible to avoid stressing adjacent fittings or pipe sections during tightening.
