Built from malleable iron, this fitting offers high tensile strength suited to demanding plumbing and mechanical piping applications. The galvanized finish provides rust resistance for long service life in typical indoor and light commercial installations. It is sized at 1\/2 inch FPT on the larger end and 1\/4 inch FPT on the smaller end, making it a standard choice for reducing connections in threaded iron pipe assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded iron pipe size reduction is required. It is well suited for connecting supply lines, branch connections, and instrument taps where a 1\/2 inch to 1\/4 inch FPT reduction is specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in these applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides high tensile strength for threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists rust and corrosion for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch FPT x 1\/4 inch FPT reducing configuration for standard pipe size transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale pipe thread on both ends for straightforward threaded assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1\/2 inch and 1\/4 inch female pipe thread connections.\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 requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the supply line and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack if excessive torque is applied with power tools.\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: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT) x 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: 1\/4 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.202 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291030932\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: 8700135158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343097135410,"sku":"8700135158","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547429.jpg?v=1782016480","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700135158-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
