Value Collection SS-TAD-FN8-MN4 Pipe Adapter 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TAD-FN8-MN4 is a 316 stainless steel threaded pipe adapter designed to connect a 1/2-inch female NPT port to a 1/4-inch male NPT port. At 1.58 inches in length and rated to 4,600 psi, this adapter is built for demanding fluid and gas piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. The 316 stainless steel construction offers strong resistance to chloride environments and elevated temperatures, making it a reliable choice for industrial, chemical, and marine-adjacent plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This adapter is suited for use in threaded piping systems that require a reduction from a 1/2-inch female connection to a 1/4-inch male connection. Typical applications include instrumentation lines, process piping, hydraulic systems, and general industrial plumbing where NPT-threaded stainless steel fittings are specified. It conforms to ANSI B 31.1 power piping and refinery piping code standards as well as ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) pipe thread standards, making it suitable for code-compliant installations in both commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh and chloride-heavy environments
• 4,600 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas service
• FNPT x MNPT end connections for standard NPT threaded pipe assembly
• Compact 1.58-inch length minimizes inline space requirements
• Meets ANSI B 31.1 and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) standards for code-compliant piping work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe adapter for use in 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch NPT reduction applications in industrial, commercial, and process piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable ANSI and ASME piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
