Nibco H027050 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Nibco 903-7 trap adapter connect to on each end?
The Nibco 903-7 is an F x SJ trap adapter: one end is a female NPT thread, the other is a slip joint connection. It lets you go from a threaded drain connection to a slip joint tailpiece or trap arm. Both ends are integral to the fitting, so nothing solders on this particular configuration.
2) What sizes does the Nibco 903-7 DWV trap adapter come in?
Three: 1-1/4 inch (MPN H027000), 1-1/2 inch (H027050), and a 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/4 inch reducing version (H027100). The reducing size is the one to grab when a 1-1/2 inch drain has to pick up a 1-1/4 inch lavatory trap.
3) Can I use a Nibco 903-7 trap adapter on a pressure water line?
No. The 903-7 is a DWV fitting, intended for drain, waste and vent service only. A slip joint end is not a pressure connection. For supply piping you need a pressure-rated wrot copper adapter, not a DWV trap adapter.
4) I have a 1-1/2 inch DWV stub and a 1-1/4 inch lavatory trap. Which Nibco 903-7 do I order?
Order the 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/4 inch version, MPN H027100. It carries the larger thread on the drain side and the smaller slip joint for the trap, so you do not have to stack a separate reducing bushing into the joint.
5) Is the 903-7 trap adapter approved for commercial jobs or just residential?
Both. The 903-7 is listed for commercial and residential plumbing systems, and it is made to ASME B16.29 for material and workmanship, which is the wrought copper solder-joint DWV fitting standard specifiers usually call out on drawings.
6) What is the Nibco 903-7 trap adapter made of, and will it hold up in aggressive water?
Copper, specifically ASTM B75 alloy C12200, and Nibco states the fitting is dezincification resistant. That matters where brass trap adapters have failed on you: there is no zinc to leach out of C12200 copper.
7) Do I need a washer and nut for the slip joint end of the 903-7?
Yes. The slip joint side of the 903-7 is a plain connection made up with a slip nut and washer, which are ordinarily supplied with the trap or tailpiece being connected. The threaded side is female NPT, so plan on thread sealant or PTFE tape and a male threaded nipple or drain outlet on the other side.
8) Is a copper trap adapter worth it on a green building project?
Copper is reusable at end of life, which is why Nibco calls out copper fittings for sustainable projects, and the 903-7 is made in an ISO 9001 certified facility. For LEED-style material documentation the alloy call-out is ASTM B75 C12200.
