Product Details
The Merit chrome plated brass pipe fitting, 3/8 x 1/4 hex bushing NPT male x female, is designed for low pressure applications involving water, oil, and gas (W.O.G.). This fitting has pressure ratings of 125 PSI for steam and 200 PSI for W.O.G., complying with ANSI B 1.20.1 and ANSI B 16.15 standards. It provides superior corrosion resistance, while the material's relative softness allows for easy installation and ensures a tight seal. Chrome plated brass fittings are favored for their ease of cleaning, resistance to dirt and bacteria accumulation, and ability to maintain a shiny finish. However, it is important to note that these fittings contain lead and are prohibited by federal law for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories.
