Connect copper tubing to female threaded pipe with this copper sweat x FPT (Female Pipe Thread) adapter. This reducing adapter joins a 3/8" copper sweat socket to a 1/2" FPT connection for a secure, leak-free joint when properly soldered.

• Copper sweat socket accepts 3/8" nominal copper tubing
• 1/2" FPT threads (ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT taper) connect to male threaded pipe or fittings
• Wrot copper construction conforms to ASME B16.22 for wrought copper solder-joint pressure fittings, and meets MSS SP-104
• Formed from commercially pure copper mill product - ASTM B75 alloy C12200
• Compatible with Type K, L, and M copper tube per ASTM B88
• Suitable for potable water, HVAC, hydronic heating, and general plumbing systems
• Solder-joint end designed for use with lead-free solder in drinking water applications
• Manufacturer part: 2510506089802

Tip: Clean both the tube end and fitting socket with emery cloth, apply flux, then heat the fitting evenly with a torch until solder is drawn into the joint.

Cross-shopping note: JMF calls the socket end "C" (a copper cup sized to receive copper tube) and the threaded end "FIP" - the same connection this listing calls FPT.
