Asc Engineered Solutions 8700134201 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700134201 is a malleable black iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. Sized at 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch, it reduces line size while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant joint. The fitting features National Pipe Thread (NPT) on both ends, which provides a tight, pressure-rated seal without additional fittings. The black iron finish resists corrosion from water, air, and steam service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping assemblies.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in water, air, and steam distribution lines where a threaded reduction from 3/4 inch to 3/8 inch is required. It is commonly installed in light industrial facilities, mechanical rooms, and commercial buildings as part of schedule pipe distribution systems. Its malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to withstand vibration and mechanical stress common in these environments.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and resistance to shock and vibration
• NPT threads on both ends ensure a tight, leak-resistant seal
• Black finish resists corrosion in water, air, and steam service
• 3/4 inch inlet to 3/8 inch outlet for in-line diameter reduction
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with standard NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems in water, air, and steam service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B16.3 standards for malleable iron threaded fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
