Value Collection PC124NB-6 Brass Pipe Fitting 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC124NB-6 is a 3/8-inch brass pipe fitting with female NPT (FNPT) inlet and male NPT (MNPT) outlet connections. It is rated for up to 1,000 psi working pressure and features a nickel-plated finish over brass construction. This fitting is used to connect, extend, or transition threaded pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. It weighs 0.12 pounds and ships as a single unit. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics are the typical installers for this type of threaded fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable threaded connection is required at 3/8-inch pipe size. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, pneumatic controls, and HVAC refrigerant-side piping where NPT connections are specified. The FNPT x MNPT configuration allows it to function as a close nipple-style connector or union adapter between two female-threaded ports.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch fitting size with FNPT x MNPT end connections
• 1,000 psi pressure rating for high-demand systems
• Nickel-plated finish provides corrosion resistance over brass base material
• Compact, single-piece construction for straightforward installation
• Lightweight at 0.12 pounds, minimizing load on threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-inch NPT threaded fitting compatible with any pipe or component using FNPT inlet and MNPT outlet connections per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 tapered pipe thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or approved pipe dope to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten — use a calibrated torque wrench or follow fitting manufacturer guidelines for thread engagement appropriate to the pipe material.
