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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and resistance to shock and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT threads on both ends ensure a tight, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish resists corrosion in water, air, and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch inlet to 3\/8 inch outlet for in-line diameter reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with standard NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems in water, air, and steam service applications.\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\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\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: National Pipe Thread (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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: 8700134201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342848819506,"sku":"8700134201","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547408.jpg?v=1782008491","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700134201-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
