Asc 8700134557 Black Iron Reducing Coupling 1-1/2 X 1-1/4 In.

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700134557 is a malleable black iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches, it transitions between these common pipe sizes using National Pipe Thread (NPT) tapered threads, which create a tight, reliable seal without additional fittings. The black finish provides resistance to water, air, and steam exposure. Malleable iron construction delivers high tensile strength, making this coupling suitable for demanding mechanical and utility piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of threaded fitting.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a reduction between 1-1/2-inch and 1-1/4-inch threaded pipe is required. Common applications include water supply lines, steam distribution, air distribution, and general utility plumbing. The black finish makes it appropriate for gas piping applications as well, where black iron fittings are the standard specified material. It is sold individually.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for high tensile strength and durability
• National Pipe Thread (NPT) tapered threads for a tight, leak-resistant seal
• Black finish resists water, air, and steam
• Reduces from 1-1/2 inches to 1-1/4 inches in a single fitting
• Suitable for water, air, steam, and gas piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting compatible with standard NPT malleable iron pipe systems using 1-1/2-inch and 1-1/4-inch schedule pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug before using a pipe wrench for final make-up. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
