This fitting transitions from a 3\/8-inch female thread to a 1\/4-inch female thread, allowing technicians to reduce pipe size within a run without additional adapters. Malleable iron construction delivers high tensile strength suitable for demanding service conditions. The black finish provides resistance to water, air, and steam exposure. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in low-pressure piping systems across residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for use in water, air, and steam distribution systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is required. It is commonly installed in HVAC piping, compressed air lines, and general plumbing supply runs. The National Pipe Thread (NPT) form on both ends ensures a pressure-tight seal when properly installed with thread sealant or tape. It is sold individually and fits standard 3\/8-inch and 1\/4-inch NPT threaded fittings and pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for high tensile strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish resists water, air, and steam corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNational Pipe Thread (NPT) form on both ends for a tight, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch female thread in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for water, air, and low-pressure steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3\/8-inch and 1\/4-inch NPT threaded pipe and fittings in malleable iron piping systems.\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 codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant compound or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\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\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: National Pipe Thread (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.132 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\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: 8700133906\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346153799986,"sku":"8700133906","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547424.jpg?v=1782072335","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700133906-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
