Asc Engineered Solutions 8700135505 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700135505 is a reducing galvanized coupling designed to connect female pipe thread (FPT) fittings where a 1-1/4 inch line reduces to a 1 inch line. Constructed from malleable iron, this coupling delivers high tensile strength suited to demanding pipe system applications. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in environments where rust is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water, gas, and general-purpose piping assemblies where a durable, code-compliant threaded reduction is required.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. Typical applications include potable water distribution, natural gas supply lines, and industrial fluid conveyance where threaded connections are standard. It is sold individually and suited for new construction and retrofit work where pipe diameter changes are needed at a junction point.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength for durable, long-term service
• Galvanized finish resists rust and corrosion in exposed or humid environments
• Female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• Reduces from 1-1/4 inches to 1 inch to accommodate pipe size transitions
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for galvanized malleable iron threaded pipe systems using 1-1/4 inch and 1 inch FPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 water or gas supply and relieve system pressure fully before beginning work. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
