Product detailed description
Brass threaded reducer 3/8" x 1/4" MF is the most commonly used connection for steel heating, for example under a boiler and other heating solutions.
A brass threaded reducing fitting - connects a pipe or fittings with different thread sizes into a single joint. Brass is a long-proven, standard material for threaded water and heating pipework thanks to its corrosion resistance and reliable tightness when the joint is properly tightened.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose the correct fitting size? The thread size (e.g. 1/2", 3/4", 1") must exactly match the thread size on the pipe or fitting you are connecting to - designations such as FF (female-female), MF (male-female) and similar abbreviations in the name indicate the thread type on each side of the fitting.
- What do the abbreviations FF and MF mean? F (female thread) and M (male thread) indicate the thread type on the given side of the fitting - for example "FF" means female thread on both sides, "MF" means male thread on one side and female on the other.
- Is sealing material needed during installation? Yes, threaded joints are typically sealed with a sealing material (e.g. PTFE tape or hemp fibre with sealing paste) to ensure a perfectly tight joint - the thread alone, without sealant, will not seal reliably.
- Does the installation have to be done by a professional? A simple threaded connection can be handled by a competent do-it-yourselfer, but when working on an already functioning system (especially a gas or pressurised water/heating system) we recommend calling in a plumber, who can also check the tightness of the joint after installation.
- What material and pressure class does this fitting have? It is made of brass, suitable for standard water and heating installations - exact nominal pressure and temperature values (where stated for a specific product) can be found in the technical parameters above.

“Made in Italy” adds value
IVAR has been producing heating and plumbing system components since 1985: valves for heating bodies, direct heat metering modules, heat cost allocators, pipes and fittings, substations for heating systems, distribution manifolds, radiant panel systems, and components for solar and geothermal systems. And it’s all “Made in Italy”.
Over 200 people are employed at our manufacturing facilities in Prevalle (in northern Italy’s Brescia province). The site has been designed to streamline our many production and operational stages.
The Italian headquarters also acts as a hub for the wider IVAR Group, set up with the goal of distributing products beyond Italy’s borders. The group now has 11 branches, in Australia, Belgium, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, the United States and Tunisia.
Know How
Research, development and numerous laboratory tests guarantee that our clients’ requests can be translated into new high-efficiency products.
The stages required for production take place internally, beginning with hot forming, which is carried out at our subsidiary Valmon Stampati. Our continuous implementation of projects under the Industry 4.0 initiative also allows us to take full advantage of new releases in technology and IT to improve our manufacturing efficiency.
As a company, IVAR is constantly evolving. Every day, we invest in strengthening our products, in improving our production processes and in attaining new patents and certifications.
