A:  They do exist, just everyone may not have them. Sometimes, the abbreviations MIP or FIP can be confused with M(ale) or F(emale) I(ron) P(ipe). NPT, which stands for National Pipe Tapered, or Thread, is probably a more conventional term. You would say, 'Male NPT' or 'Female NPT'... or alternately MPT for male or FPT for female fittings. Using these as search terms with the measurements you wanted, I got multiple hits in a web search. Try using these and see if you find the fitting you need. It could be that it is something that is not available right off the shelf and you may have to order. I hope this is helpful, and good luck with your project! -willis

A:  The 3/4 in. MIP x 1/2 in. FIP Brass Bushing Fitting is not for use in this application. You would need to use an adapter that adapts the tapered pipe threads to garden hose thread such as item https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-MHT-x-1-2-in-FIP-Brass-Adapter-Fitting-801729/300096291.

A:  All of our 1/4” MIP fittings use American National pipe standards and the 1/4” is 18 threads per inch.

A:  I measured a 14 pitch for the 1/2? MIP side. An 18 pitch seemed too big based on the SAE measuring tool I used. Can you please confirm? Thanks!

A:  No, this fitting is threaded to pipe thread standards and not compression thread standards and the 2 systems are not compatible with each other. We do not currently make an adapter that will work for your situation. We would recommend changing the supply valve to one with a 3/8” outlet as this will be the simplest solution.
