It transitions from a 1\/2-inch female thread on the larger end to a 1\/4-inch female thread on the smaller end. Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and durability under pressure cycling. National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends form a tight, leak-resistant seal. The black iron finish adds resistance to water, air, and steam exposure, making this fitting appropriate for a range of fluid and gas conveyance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a threaded reducer is needed to step down pipe size. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, water supply piping, steam systems, and compressed air lines. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of fitting when transitioning between supply and branch lines or when connecting equipment with a smaller inlet to a larger diameter run pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for high tensile strength and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT threads on both ends for a tight, leak-resistant connection without additional sealing compounds on properly prepared joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack iron finish resists water, air, and steam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch to 1\/4-inch female thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using NPT-threaded connections in plumbing, gas, steam, and compressed air applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the conveyed medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns procedure appropriate for NPT fittings of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (National Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarger End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmaller End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.198 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291025914\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700134052\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346692571442,"sku":"8700134052","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547409.jpg?v=1782087740","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-8700134052-black-iron-reducing-coupling-1-2x1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
