Applications and installation tips
This 1/8" FPT × 1/8" FPT red brass coupling is well-suited for connecting small-diameter lines in potable water systems, irrigation setups, and other low-flow piping circuits that rely on standard 1/8" pipe threads. Its lead-free composition makes it a sensible choice for drinking water lines and other applications where safety matters.
- Seal the threads properly with PTFE tape or pipe joint compound before assembly.
- Ensure threads are clean and undamaged to prevent leaks.
- Tighten hand-tight, then snug with a wrench—avoid overtightening to protect the threads and the fitting.
