Help finding a fitting

SWEI · October 2014

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~

Do you mean like this?

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.

If I'm ever on Gilligan's Island. I'd like you and a Swiss Army knife to be there as well.

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.
