Description
The Larsen Supply Co 10-0013 is a reducing adapter designed to connect a 1/2-inch Iron Pipe Size (IPS) supply line to a 3/8-inch female compression thread fitting. This type of transition fitting is a staple in residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in and fixture supply work. It allows a plumber to step down from a standard 1/2-inch IPS stub-out to the 3/8-inch compression inlet common on faucets, toilets, and angle stops. Each unit ships carded and is sold in packages of 6, making it practical for service vans and supply stock.
This reducing adapter is used where a 1/2-inch IPS supply line must terminate at a 3/8-inch compression connection. Typical applications include toilet supply connections, under-sink faucet supply risers, and fixture shut-off valve installations in residential construction and remodel work. The carded packaging keeps hardware organized on the truck or at the job site. Licensed plumbers and finish trim carpenters familiar with fixture rough-in will encounter this fitting regularly in standard residential plumbing installations.
