Description
Domestic Wrot Copper x Male NPT Reducing Adapter
Domestic wrot copper x male NPT reducing adapters transition between different-size copper tube and female-threaded pipe, valves, equipment, or fittings. The female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube, while the external male NPT connection threads into a compatible female-threaded component.
Select the required connection combination from the product options above. Sizes are listed as copper sweat end x male NPT end. The selected variation determines the Cello item number, online selling price, weight, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How a Copper x Male NPT Adapter Works
The copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube and is soldered using approved preparation, flux, and joining procedures. The male NPT end then threads into a compatible female-threaded pipe, valve, fitting, equipment connection, or other component.
How to Read the Size
Sizes are listed as copper sweat end x male NPT end. For example, a 1" x 3/4" adapter connects 1" copper tube to a 3/4" female NPT component.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a copper x male NPT reducing adapter used for?
It connects copper tube to a different-size female-threaded pipe, valve, fitting, equipment connection, or other compatible component.
How are the sizes listed?
The first size is the copper sweat connection, and the second size is the male NPT threaded connection.
Which end connects to copper tube?
The female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube and is soldered in place.
What connects to the threaded end?
The male NPT end threads into a compatible female NPT pipe, valve, fitting, equipment connection, or other component.
Can the male NPT connection be larger than the copper connection?
Yes. Several available configurations have a male NPT connection larger than the copper sweat connection. Confirm both sizes before ordering.
Can the copper connection be larger than the male NPT connection?
Yes. The available configurations include both reducing and increasing transitions. Always read the size as copper sweat end x male NPT end.
How is this adapter installed?
The copper end is soldered to properly prepared copper tube. The male threaded end is assembled with a compatible female NPT component using an approved thread sealant.
Should the threaded joint be assembled before soldering?
The installation sequence depends on the application. Avoid overheating thread sealants, valves, seals, equipment, or other temperature-sensitive components during soldering.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. This product is listed as a domestic wrot copper pressure fitting.
Who manufactures this adapter?
This product is manufactured by Cello Products.
Can it be used in potable-water systems?
It may be used in compatible potable-water systems when installed according to applicable codes, standards, manufacturer requirements, and approved joining procedures.
Is this the same as a female adapter?
No. This product has external male NPT threads. A female adapter has internal female NPT threads.
