Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass FIP x MIP Conversion Adapter Fitting

Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass FIP x MIP Conversion Adapter Fitting

The Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass FIP x MIP Conversion Adapter Fitting is machined from solid brass for reliable, corrosion-resistant connections between mismatched thread sizes. This family of general-purpose brass fittings adapts a female iron pipe (FIP) connection to a male iron pipe (MIP) connection without reworking an entire line or fixture, and is available in six FIP x MIP size combinations ranging from 3/16" through 3/8" iron pipe sizes: 1/4FIP x 3/16MIP, 1/4FIP x 5/16MIP, 3/16FIP x 1/4MIP, 3/16FIP x 5/16MIP, 3/8FIP x 5/16MIP, and 5/16FIP x 3/8MIP. Brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments, and the dense, machined threads are built to seal tightly and hold up to repeated connect/disconnect cycles common in plumbing, small-bore gas, and general maintenance work. As a compact adapter fitting, this family is a practical stock item for any shop, service truck, or maintenance cart that regularly encounters odd-size pipe and tube connections that do not match off-the-shelf hose, valve, or fixture threads.

Key Features

• Size Range: Available in six FIP x MIP thread combinations spanning 3/16" through 3/8" iron pipe sizes, so you can match the exact conversion needed.
• Material: Solid brass construction resists corrosion and performs reliably in plumbing, water, and general fitting applications where long-term reliability is required.
• Configuration: FIP x MIP threading creates a secure mechanical connection between two different thread sizes without extra bushings or couplers.
• Product Type: General-purpose brass adapter fitting built for conversion and adaptation tasks across plumbing and fitting assemblies.
• Durability: Brass naturally resists corrosion from moisture, making this adapter family well suited to both indoor and outdoor service environments.
• Compact Design: A small footprint lets each adapter work in tight spaces where a bulkier conversion fitting won't fit.
