Anderson Metals - 56123-0806 Brass Pipe Fitting, Reducing Hex Nipple, 1/2" Male Pipe x 3/8" Male Pipe

The Anderson Metals reducing hex nipple pipe fitting is made of brass and has male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections.

This reducing hex nipple fitting has one end smaller than the other for connecting two threaded pipes with different diameters, and it has a hexagonal head for an increased bearing surface when adjusting the fitting with a wrench.

It has male NPT threads for connecting to female threaded pipes, creating a tighter seal than straight threads.

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.
