Asc Engineered Solutions 3X2.NMC Reducing Coupling 3x2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 3X2.NMC is a malleable iron pipe reducing coupling designed to transition between 3-inch and 2-inch nominal pipe sizes in threaded piping systems. Rated at 150 lb, it features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. This fitting is domestically manufactured and suits plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping applications where a reliable threaded reduction is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded inline reduction from 3 inches to 2 inches nominal is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general mechanical systems operating within the 150 lb pressure class. The galvanized malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for above-ground and moderately exposed installations where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Reduces 3-inch nominal pipe to 2-inch nominal in a single inline fitting
• FNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for common mechanical piping systems
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation reducing coupling for 3-inch by 2-inch nominal threaded malleable iron piping systems rated at 150 lb class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench and follow standard practice for malleable iron threaded fittings to avoid cracking the fitting body.
