Value Collection PC124NB-8 Brass Pipe Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC124NB-8 is a 1/2 inch brass pipe fitting with female NPT (FNPT) inlet and male NPT (MNPT) outlet connections. It carries a pressure rating of 1,000 psi and features a nickel-plated finish for added corrosion resistance. This fitting is used to connect or transition threaded pipe runs in plumbing and mechanical systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on both residential and light commercial applications where a standard half-inch threaded union point is required.

This fitting is suited for use in water supply lines, compressed air systems, hydronic heating loops, and other fluid or gas distribution systems that use NPT-threaded pipe. The FNPT x MNPT configuration allows it to serve as a close nipple-style connector or a transition union between a female-threaded port and a male-threaded line. Its brass construction and nickel plating make it appropriate for environments where moisture or mild corrosives are present.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch fitting size with FNPT x MNPT end connections for standard NPT threaded installations
• 1,000 psi pressure rating suitable for a wide range of plumbing and mechanical system pressures
• Nickel-plated finish provides additional corrosion resistance over bare brass
• Brass base material offers durability and reliable thread engagement
• Compact, single-unit fitting for straightforward threaded pipe connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation fitting for any 1/2 inch NPT-threaded pipe system. Compatible with residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic lines, and compressed air distribution where FNPT x MNPT brass fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with appropriate control to achieve a snug, pressure-rated connection without damaging threads.
