Is it by any chance threaded? If so, it might be 3/8 NPT -- worth a try.

They do make adapter you can sweat onto brass pipe but I have never used them. Might be less of a problem to just replace it with copper or..... thread it

I've used the brass adapters that slip over brass, and are sweated on, they work great, I have a couple in my fitting box that I haven't used in 25 years, you might find them at an old school Plumbing Supply store...

Thanks, Bob Gagnon

1/2" sweat refrigeration fitting? Good flux and some silverbrite?

The brass adapters Bobby's thinking about are called reamed adapters. Try Googleing them, I know Raven still manufactures them.

Danny Scully

They’re called TP fittings, threadless pipe. I worked for a company in the city for a while, we used them all the time.

TP fittings as said above. They sell TP by cooper adapters, or you can manufacture one by drilling out the threads on copper x female adapter

thanks everyone that is what i was looking for
is a tp adapter the same as a reamed adapter
