Fitting / Adapter - Professional Grade
This fitting / adapter is built for professional pressure washing contractors and commercial cleaning operations, with brass construction. Designed for the demands of daily commercial use - not weekend homeowner projects. Available at Sun Brite Supply in Gaithersburg, MD - stocked and ready to ship.
The brass construction provides long-term durability and corrosion resistance in demanding field conditions. Every component at Sun Brite Supply is the same equipment our team has used and trusted across 30 years in the pressure washing industry. We don't stock consumer-grade parts with professional labels - if it's in our catalog, it's contractor-tested.
Where Contractors Use This Fitting / Adapter
Application and Compatibility
Every connection in your pressure washing system is a potential leak point. Using the correct fitting eliminates adapter chains that introduce additional failure points. Verify thread type (NPT vs BSP), size, and pressure rating before ordering - a mismatched fitting under pressure is a safety hazard. If you're not sure about compatibility, call (301) 519-9274 - we match parts to machines every day.
Contractor-Grade Quality
There's a real difference between professional equipment and consumer-grade alternatives sold at hardware stores. Consumer parts are built to a price point - they work fine for the homeowner who pressure washes their deck once a year. But put those same parts on a commercial rig running 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and they fail fast. This fitting / adapter is built for that daily grind. The materials, tolerances, and construction are designed for thousands of hours of commercial operation. That's why contractors come to Sun Brite Supply instead of buying online from unknown vendors - we carry the brands and specs that working professionals trust.
Installation and Setup
Verify Thread Type and Size
MPT connects to FPT. Measure both the thread diameter and count threads per inch to confirm you have the right match before ordering.
Apply Thread Sealant
Use PTFE tape on male threads only - two wraps clockwise when facing the thread end. Never use tape on female threads.
Tighten to Spec
Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench. Over-tightening cracks brass fittings and strips threads. If it leaks, add tape - don't force it.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Keep the part clean and stored in a dry environment when not in use. Exposure to moisture, chemicals, and UV light degrades materials over time. Carry spares on your rig for critical components.
When to Replace vs. Repair
If this fitting / adapter shows signs of wear but is still functional, a rebuild kit or replacement seals may extend its service life at a fraction of the full replacement cost. However, if you see cracks, cross-threading, severe corrosion, or complete failure under pressure, replacement is the safer and more economical choice. Call (301) 519-9274 and we'll help you decide. Always follow OSHA equipment safety standards when working with high-pressure equipment.
