Product detailed description

Inverted reduction 3/8“-1/2“ brass

- external / internal thread MF
 

• max. pressure up to 1.5 MPa

Brass threaded reducing fitting – connects pipes or fittings with different thread sizes into a single joint. Brass is a long-proven, standard material for threaded water and heating pipework thanks to its corrosion resistance and reliable tightness when the joint is properly tightened.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the correct fitting size? The thread size (e.g. 1/2", 3/4", 1") must exactly match the thread size on the pipe or fitting to which you are connecting the fitting - dimensions FF (female-female), MF (male-female) and similar abbreviations in the name indicate the thread type on each side of the fitting.
• What do the abbreviations FF and MF in the name mean? F (female thread) and M (male thread) indicate the thread type on the given side of the fitting - for example, "FF" means an internal thread on both sides, "MF" an external thread on one side and an internal thread on the other.
• Is sealing material needed during installation? Yes, sealing material (e.g. PTFE tape or hemp fiber with sealing paste) is typically used on threaded joints to ensure a perfectly tight connection - the thread alone without sealing does not reliably seal.
• Must installation be carried out by a professional? A simple threaded connection can be handled by a DIY enthusiast with basic skills; however, when working on an already functioning system (especially gas or pressurized water/heating system), we recommend calling in a plumber, who will also verify the tightness of the joint after installation.
• What material and pressure class does this fitting have? It is made of brass, suitable for standard water and heating pipework - the exact nominal pressure and temperature values (if stated for the specific product) can be found in the technical parameters above.
