This Dixon HA15T15F brass hydrant adapter has 1-1/2" female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads and 1-1/2" male National Standard Threads (NST). The pin lugs allow the connection to be tightened using fire equipment tools. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability.
