Anvil 0361175508 Black Reducing Coupling 1/2 X 3/8 in Class 3000

Product Description

The ANVIL 0361175508 is a forged carbon steel reducing coupling with a black finish, rated for Class 3000 service at up to 3000 psi. It connects 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch threaded pipe ends using NPT threads conforming to ASME B1.20.1. This fitting is designed for high-pressure piping systems in commercial and industrial applications where a reliable, code-compliant threaded reduction is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in gas, oil, steam, and liquid process lines where carbon steel construction and Class 3000 pressure ratings are specified.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial gas piping, hydraulic systems, compressed air lines, and process piping where a threaded transition from 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch pipe is needed. Its forged carbon steel construction and black finish make it appropriate for both above-ground and in-wall piping installations where the applicable code permits threaded carbon steel fittings. No specific model compatibility is listed by the manufacturer for this fitting beyond its stated size and thread standard.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducing coupling for Class 3000 forged carbon steel piping systems using 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch NPT connections in gas, liquid, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the applicable mechanical or plumbing code, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before hand-tightening and wrenching to engagement. Do not over-torque threaded fittings, as this can crack the fitting body or damage mating threads.
