Ward 15MXD.WFMJ Wardflex Male Adapter 1/2 X 1/2 Mpt

Product Description

The WARD 15MXD.WFMJ is a Wardflex male adapter fitting designed to transition from flexible corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) to a male pipe thread connection. It provides a reliable mechanical joint between Wardflex CSST and standard 1/2-inch male pipe thread fittings, making it a common termination component in gas distribution systems. The adapter measures 1/2 inch on the Wardflex end and 1/2 inch MPT on the threaded end. Licensed gas fitters and plumbers install this fitting during rough-in and final connection of gas supply lines to appliances, valves, and regulators.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial gas piping installations where Wardflex CSST is the primary distribution method. Typical applications include connecting gas supply lines to appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, dryers, and ranges. The male pipe thread end mates with standard female-threaded valves, manifolds, and appliance inlets, serving as the handoff point between flexible gas line and rigid threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes, IFGC requirements, and the Wardflex installation manual. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before making any connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to the male pipe threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten the threaded connection; follow the fitting manufacturer torque guidelines and inspect all joints for leaks after restoring gas pressure.
