Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756119-0804 is a brass bell reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in a plumbing system. It transitions from a 1/2 inch female connection to a 1/4 inch female connection, making it a practical fitting for reducing line size without additional adapters. Constructed from lead-free brass, this coupling meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which mandates lead-free materials in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel, or repair work on water supply lines.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a line reduction from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch is required. Common install scenarios include branch supply lines, fixture connections, and equipment hookups where flow capacity needs to step down. This item is sold in a package of 5 units, making it practical for multi-point installations or stocking in a service van. The bell-style body provides a secure threaded seat for reliable pressure retention across typical domestic water supply conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as this can crack the fitting body or damage mating threads.
