It transitions from a 1\/4-inch nominal female connection to a 1\/8-inch nominal female connection, with both ends threaded to FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) standard. Rated at 150 lb, this coupling is manufactured from black malleable iron, making it well suited for gas distribution, compressed air, and general-purpose industrial pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during system assembly or repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is intended for residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded size reduction is required without the use of a bushing. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, air lines, and water distribution systems where a 1\/4-inch to 1\/8-inch transition is needed. The black finish and malleable iron construction are standard for gas piping installations per applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/4-inch nominal to 1\/8-inch nominal in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestic manufacture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using 1\/4-inch and 1\/8-inch nominal pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not overtighten FNPT connections, as this can crack the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 lb\u003c\/li\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\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: BXA.BMC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524795597106,"sku":"BLRED1418","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2d08f1465c1c137cb6b2f48ae7bc1b5e_42584b9e-ad59-450b-9694-04eda6b91299.jpg?v=1785457793","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-bxa-bmc-1-4x1-8-inch-reducing-coupling-150-lb-malleable-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
