It connects a 2-inch pipe to a 1-1\/2-inch pipe using threaded ends on both sides, making it a standard choice for reducing pipe diameter within high-pressure piping systems. At 4.40 pounds, this fitting is built to handle demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify forged steel couplings at this pressure class for steam, oil, gas, and high-pressure water lines where cast fittings are not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for industrial process piping, commercial mechanical rooms, and heavy-duty plumbing installations where a 3000 lb Class forged steel fitting is required. It threads onto standard NPT pipe ends and is designed for systems that require a reliable, code-compliant transition from 2-inch to 1-1\/2-inch line size. Applications commonly include steam distribution, compressed air headers, hydraulic lines, and similar high-pressure fluid systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged steel construction for superior strength over cast alternatives in high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3000 lb pressure class rating for demanding steam, gas, and hydraulic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded ends compatible with standard NPT pipe on both the 2-inch and 1-1\/2-inch sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces pipe diameter inline without additional fittings or adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 4.40 pounds, consistent with full-body forged construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3000 lb Class threaded forged steel piping systems using standard NPT connections in 2-inch by 1-1\/2-inch configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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 line completely before removing existing fittings or threading new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as forged steel fittings rely on proper thread engagement rather than excessive force for a leak-free joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches x 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Reducing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.40 pounds\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: 361178502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233918910770,"sku":"0361178502","price":31.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630909.jpg?v=1780112159","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-361178502-reducing-coupling-2x1-5in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
