A.Y. McDonald Ranger X 5196--00 3/4" FNPT-NL Lead-Free Adapter

The A.Y. McDonald Ranger X 3/4" FNPT-NL Adapter (5196--00, manufacturer part number 74754-11) is engineered to transition Ranger X push-fit or pipe connections to a 3/4" female national pipe thread (FNPT) connection point, giving installers a fast, reliable way to tie into threaded fittings, valves, meters, and fixtures.

McDonald, this adapter is manufactured to a no-lead (NL) specification, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free compliance is required.

Whether used in new construction or repair and replacement work, this single-piece adapter reduces the number of fittings needed to complete a threaded transition, saving installation time while maintaining a leak-resistant connection point.

A.Y. McDonald 5196-001 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the A.Y. McDonald 5196 Ranger X adapter lead free for potable water?
Yes, it is a no-lead (NL) adapter, which is what the NL suffix in the Ranger X FNPT-NL designation denotes. That is the version specified for potable water service lines.
2) What kind of connection is on the A.Y. McDonald Ranger X adapter?
One end is female NPT (FNPT) tapered pipe thread, so it threads onto male NPT pipe or a male-threaded fitting. The other end is the Ranger X connection, so it is used to transition a Ranger X service fitting over to standard threaded pipe.
3) Will the 3/4 inch Ranger X adapter thread onto 3/4 inch galvanized or brass pipe?
It will. The 3/4 inch version (5196-001) has a 3/4 inch female NPT port, and NPT is the same tapered thread used on schedule galvanized steel and brass nipples, so it mates with any 3/4 inch male NPT pipe end regardless of pipe material. Use thread sealant rated for potable water.
4) I need to go from a Ranger X service fitting to a threaded meter setter or valve. Is this the right part?
That is exactly what the 5196 adapter is for: it converts the Ranger X connection to a female NPT port so you can thread in a male-NPT valve, nipple, or setter tail. If the mating component is female threaded instead, you will need a male nipple between the two.
5) Can I use the 1 inch Ranger X adapter on a 3/4 inch service line?
Not directly. The 1 inch adapter (5196-004) has a 1 inch FNPT port and a 1 inch Ranger X end, so on a 3/4 inch line you would either order the 3/4 inch adapter (5196-001) or add a 1 inch by 3/4 inch bushing, which adds a joint you may not want buried.
