Both ends feature female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads, allowing a secure, leak-resistant connection between two different pipe sizes. Rated at 150 lb, this fitting is suited for moderate-pressure applications in gas, air, water, and steam service. The black finish is standard for malleable iron fittings used in gas distribution and general industrial piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of reducing coupling as a standard transition fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a pipe run changes from 3-inch to 2.5-inch nominal size. Common applications include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating systems. The FNPT thread pattern conforms to ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1 standards, making it compatible with standard threaded pipe and fittings found throughout commercial and residential mechanical systems. It is listed as a domestically manufactured fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 3-inch nominal pipe to 2.5-inch nominal pipe 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 rated for moderate-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestic manufacture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded reducing coupling for use with 3-inch by 2.5-inch nominal FNPT threaded pipe systems in gas, air, water, and steam service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting or strip the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 x 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) both ends\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: 3X2D.BMC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525192319282,"sku":"BLRED3212","price":77.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2d08f1465c1c137cb6b2f48ae7bc1b5e_59ce7f84-685d-42d7-876c-86919ed4e546.jpg?v=1785466803","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-3x2d-bmc-reducing-coupling-150-lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
