0997-0007 - Victor Brass Adaptor 1/2 NPT Male to 1 Inch NPS Left Hand

Reliable Gas Connections with Victor Brass Adaptors

The Victor 0997-0007 Adaptor is a specialized brass fitting designed to facilitate secure and safe connections within industrial gas manifolds and piping systems. Manufactured by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, this adaptor is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional welding and fabrication environments. The unit features a 1/2-inch National Pipe Thread Male (NPTM) on one side and a 1-inch National Pipe Straight (NPS) Left Hand thread on the other. This specific configuration is essential for adapting standard piping to specialized gas equipment that requires left-hand threads, commonly used for fuel gases to ensure safety compliance.

Precision Engineering and Safety

Safety is paramount in gas distribution, and the Victor 0997-0007 addresses this through its specific thread design. The inclusion of a Left Hand (LH) thread is a critical safety feature often employed to distinguish fuel gas lines from oxygen or inert gas lines. By using a left-hand thread, this adaptor physically prevents the accidental connection of incompatible equipment, thereby reducing the risk of hazardous cross-connections. The 1-inch NPS thread provides a robust mechanical connection, while the 1/2-inch NPTM end ensures a tight, tapered seal against the mating pipe, minimizing the potential for leaks.

Durable Brass Construction

Constructed from high-quality brass, this adaptor offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion. Brass is the material of choice for gas fittings due to its non-sparking properties and ability to withstand the wear and tear of industrial use. Whether used in a permanent manifold installation or a temporary setup, the machined hex body allows for easy installation and removal using standard wrenches. The material's resilience ensures that the threads remain intact even after repeated use, maintaining a secure seal over the component's lifespan.

Application Versatility

This adaptor is ideal for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals looking to maintain or upgrade their gas distribution infrastructure. It bridges the gap between different thread standards, allowing for the integration of various components such as regulators, hoses, and piping. When precision, safety, and reliability are non-negotiable, the Victor 0997-0007 serves as a dependable solution for your gas fitting needs.
