It transitions from a 3\/4-inch female thread to a 3\/8-inch female thread, allowing a step-down in pipe size within a run. Weighing 0.25 pounds, this domestically produced fitting is suited for gas, air, and general plumbing distribution lines where a durable, threaded reducing connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling sees use in residential and light commercial piping systems where line sizes change between supply and branch runs. Typical scenarios include natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and water supply rough-in work. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications. It is installed wherever a threaded reduction from 3\/4 inch to 3\/8 inch is needed within a piping system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack coating is standard for gas service piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/4-inch to 3\/8-inch female NPT threads in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically produced fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 3\/4-inch to 3\/8-inch reducing connection.\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 plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to all male NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\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: 310086202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233560822066,"sku":"0310086202","price":38.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627096.jpg?v=1780103226","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-310086202-reducing-coupling-3-4x3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
