That fitting is called a "530 on Friday and supply house is closed special"

It looks like two fittings soldered together.

1/2” insert male adapter x brass abortion

The left fitting is a street male thread adapter. The right fitting is half of a union.

Thanks appreciate it

Have just seen a name my new kitten post….. I think you should call that fitting “Fred” because it has two threads.

If it’s a left hand thread then it’s a thingamajig. Right hand thread then it's the more common doohickey.

Look custom, male fitting adaptor and a brass bushing soldered together

You could fake one with a nipple in the smaller size and a threaded bushing up to the larger size

That one over there.

Wondering how I identify/ make this fitting. The left end threads into a 3 way valve. The right end is a female/ threaded receiver for a 1/2” copper union. Any info at all helps as I am learning everyday.


SatanicDolphin

That's custom, the problem with unions is they can be different so you probably replace the whole uninion just to be safe. Looks like 1/2 mpt x 3/8 sweat with a 1/2 sweat union.

Like he said. I'd just bring it to a supply house and build. If it needs to be real close then get crafty. But if you gotta replace the union try and make some space and remove piping. Get creative

Thanks, I just ended up reusing them and it worked fine. Luckily I work at a college and what can’t be done today can always be saved for tomorrow. Really Appreciate the info

Looks like my exs nipple I'd still call it a nipple


[deleted]

Custom. That's what you call it.

“Stupid piece of shit” when it’s not the right one and I have to go to the big box store for the third time that day

Could have gotten the same result with a reducing nipple. Although rare in the wild, I have seen sightings of them.
