Anderson Metals 06119 Brass Pipe Fitting Reducing Coupling 1/2 inch x 3/4 inch NPT Female Pipe

This Anderson Metals 06119 reducing coupling is a brass pipe fitting with 1/2" and 3/4" female NPT threads. The reducing coupling has one end smaller than the other for connecting two pipes with different diameters. It has female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting to male threaded pipes, creating a tighter seal than straight threads and a locknut for increased stability. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The reducing coupling has fair vibration resistance and is suitable in low to medium pressure applications. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
