Description
Domestic Wrot Fitting x Male NPT Street Adapter
Domestic wrot fitting x male NPT street adapters transition directly from a copper fitting socket to female-threaded pipe, valves, fittings, or equipment. The male copper fitting end inserts into a compatible female copper sweat socket, while the external male NPT connection threads into a compatible female-threaded component.
Select the required connection size from the product options above. Equal-size variations use one nominal size. Mixed-size variations are listed as fitting end x male NPT end. The selected variation determines the Cello item number, online selling price, weight, cost, and other size-specific information.

How a Fitting x Male Adapter Works
The male copper fitting end inserts into a compatible female copper sweat fitting socket and is soldered using approved preparation, flux, and joining procedures. The external male NPT end then threads into a compatible female-threaded pipe, valve, fitting, equipment connection, or other component.
How to Read the Size
Equal-size adapters are listed with one nominal size. Mixed-size adapters are listed as fitting end x male NPT end. For example, a 1/2" x 3/4" adapter inserts into a 1/2" copper fitting socket and threads into a 3/4" female NPT connection.
Connection Orientation
Fitting End
- Male copper fitting end
- Inserts into a female copper sweat socket
- Joined using approved flux and solder
- Does not fit directly over copper tube
Male NPT End
- External tapered pipe threads
- Threads into a compatible female NPT connection
- Requires approved thread sealant
- Confirm thread size before ordering
Street Adapter vs. Standard Male Adapter
Fitting x Male Street Adapter
- Male copper fitting end
- Inserts into another copper fitting
- Provides a compact transition
- May eliminate an additional coupling
Copper x Male Adapter
- Female copper sweat socket
- Fits over copper tube
- Does not insert into another fitting
- Used for direct tube-to-thread transitions

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fitting x male NPT street adapter?
It is a copper adapter with a male fitting end that inserts into a copper fitting socket and a male NPT end that threads into a female-threaded component.
Does the copper end fit over copper tube?
No. The male copper fitting end is designed to insert into a compatible female copper sweat fitting socket.
What connects to the threaded end?
The external male NPT end threads into a compatible female NPT pipe, valve, fitting, equipment connection, or other component.
How are mixed sizes listed?
Mixed sizes are listed as fitting end x male NPT end. The first size identifies the copper fitting end, and the second identifies the male thread.
How is the adapter installed?
The fitting end is soldered into a properly prepared copper fitting socket. The male threaded end is assembled with a compatible female NPT connection using approved thread sealant.
Is this the same as a copper x male adapter?
No. A copper x male adapter has a female sweat socket that fits over copper tube. This street adapter has a male fitting end that inserts into another copper fitting.
Should thread sealant be used?
Yes. Use a thread sealant or thread tape approved for the piping media, pressure, temperature, applicable codes, and manufacturer requirements.
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.
