Castair 3/8"x1/2" In-Tank Check Valve Compression Tube Fitting Inlet / NPT Outlet CTD3812
The Castair CTD3812 is a 3/8" x 1/2" in-tank check valve with compression tube fitting inlet and 1/2" NPT male outlet. At $20.33, this is the right part when 3/8" copper discharge tubing connects to the check valve, which then threads into a 1/2" tank bung — stepping up in size while transitioning from compression tube to threaded pipe in one valve body. Rated 500 PSIG and 400 degrees F with a 1/8" unloader port.
