Asc Engineered Solutions 8700134755 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700134755 is a malleable black iron reducing coupling designed to connect piping of two different diameters in threaded pipe systems. It transitions from a 2-inch female thread on one end to a 1-1/2-inch female thread on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint. The black finish provides resistance to water, air, and steam environments. Malleable iron construction delivers high tensile strength, making this fitting suitable for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling in commercial and industrial piping applications.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and commercial black iron pipe systems where a diameter change is required inline. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, steam systems, and water piping where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. It is sold individually and is a standard component in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical contractor inventory.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch female National Pipe Thread (NPT) connections
• Malleable iron construction for high tensile strength and durability
• Black finish resists water, air, and steam exposure
• National Pipe Threads provide a tight, reliable seal
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with standard 2-inch by 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off all supply lines and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack malleable iron fittings.
