Asc 361175409 Forged Steel Reducing Coupling 1/2x1/4 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361175409 is a forged steel threaded reducing coupling rated for 3000 lb pressure service. It connects a 1/2-inch female-threaded pipe to a 1/4-inch female-threaded pipe, providing a durable, high-pressure reduction point in threaded piping systems. Forged steel construction gives this coupling the structural integrity required for demanding industrial and mechanical applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a threaded branch or main line must step down from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch pipe. The part weighs 0.35 pounds and is suited for systems where pressure ratings and material strength are non-negotiable.

This reducing coupling is used in commercial and industrial piping installations, mechanical rooms, and process piping where threaded steel pipe is the specified material. It is appropriate for high-pressure gas, steam, or fluid service lines that require a Class 3000 forged steel fitting per applicable piping standards. Installers working on compressed air headers, hydraulic lines, or high-pressure process systems will find this fitting sized for common step-down transitions from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch pipe.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high strength and pressure integrity
• 3000 lb pressure rating suitable for demanding service conditions
• Threaded ends for standard NPT pipe connections
• Reduces from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch in a single fitting
• Compact form factor at 0.35 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Class 3000 forged steel threaded reducing coupling for use in threaded steel piping systems requiring a 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including ASME B16.11 standards for forged fittings. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing any existing fittings or installing this coupling. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or compromise the seal.
