Winters ssn512lf Pressure Snubber 1/2 Inch Npt Lead-free

Product Description

The WINTERS ssn512lf is a lead-free brass pressure snubber designed to protect pressure gauges and instrumentation from pressure spikes, pulsation, and water hammer in water service systems. Part of the SSN-LF Series, this snubber connects via a 1/2 inch NPT fitting and acts as a dampening device between the process line and the gauge, extending gauge service life by reducing the mechanical stress caused by rapid pressure fluctuations. Its lead-free brass construction meets potable water application requirements, making it a code-compliant choice for plumbing and water system installations.

The ssn512lf is suited for residential and commercial water systems where pressure gauges are installed on pump discharge lines, pressure tanks, booster systems, or water mains. Plumbing professionals and HVAC techs specify snubbers in systems prone to pressure pulsation from reciprocating pumps or pressure-regulating valve cycling. The 1/2 inch NPT thread size fits standard gauge ports and inline tee connections common in these applications.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water service
• 1/2 inch NPT male connection for standard gauge port fitment
• Dampens pressure spikes and pulsation to protect downstream gauges
• SSN-LF Series design for water media compatibility
• Compact inline form factor requires no special tooling for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation snubber for pressure gauges with 1/2 inch NPT inlet connections used in water service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians. Shut off system pressure and relieve line pressure completely before removing or installing any pressure gauge accessory. Apply appropriate thread sealant to NPT threads per IPC guidelines and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-snug without overtorquing brass fittings. Verify all connections for leaks before returning the system to service.
