Help finding a fitting

I'm striking out at the supply houses trying to find what seems like a simple thing: A concentric copper or brass reducer with a 3/4" sweat internal size and an NPT (whatever size) male outside. Kind of like a T x S PVC bushing, but in copper or brass.

Anyone know who might make these?

thanks~

    That looks like a standard 3/4" MA.

    Turns out Brasscraft makes what I'm looking for.

    Installing a Pasco 1450W thermowell into an IPT tee. Nobody makes thermowells with probe lengths under one inch, plus they are all set up for 1/4" OD thermistors.

    Pasco uses them for dial thermometers. We use them for pipes under 1-1/4", and they also happen to fit the oddball 3/8" OD 12k thermistors that some of the boiler manufacturers supply. Nobody stocks 12k thermistors with 1/4" bodies.

    I think that is what you are looking for? Street 3/4 to 3/4 male NPT?

    Every Sloan copper kit has one in it.

    Ordered a dozen of the Brasscraft PSA-12's from Ferguson (who had them in the TX DC.

    Good to know on the urinal adapter if I get in a pinch again. Looks like it might be p/n 3308607 on this?

    Sloan Urinal Adapter kits cost a lot more money as the kit than the single fitting alone. At $60.00 per hour equals $1.00 per minute, its usually more cost effective to buy the whole kit to get the fitting than to go on a parts safari to the parts supply houses and find that they don't have what you want.

    Those round trips to the supply house can really hurt the bottom profit line.
