Manufactured from malleable iron with a galvanized finish, this fitting delivers high tensile strength and corrosion resistance in a compact form. It transitions from a 1\/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) to a 3\/8 inch FPT connection. Weighing 0.184 pounds, it is a standard unit-quantity fitting suited for plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping applications where a secure, rust-resistant threaded connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction between pipe sizes is needed. It is appropriate for water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general mechanical systems that require malleable iron fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during rough-in work or repairs involving galvanized pipe assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides high tensile strength for demanding piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists rust and corrosion in exposed or damp environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch FPT reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.184 pounds for easy handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — one fitting per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard threaded galvanized pipe systems using 1\/2 inch and 3\/8 inch female pipe thread connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque from power tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.184 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291030925\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 8700135109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346498421042,"sku":"8700135109","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547432.jpg?v=1782082044","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700135109-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
