Asc Engineered Solutions 8700135653 Reducing Galvanized Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700135653 is a reducing galvanized coupling designed to connect female pipe threads of two different sizes in a straight-line piping run. Built from malleable iron, it delivers high tensile strength and resists the cracking or fracturing that can occur with lower-grade cast fittings under vibration or mechanical stress. The galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists rust and corrosion, extending service life in exposed or humid environments. This fitting transitions from a 1-1/2 inch FPT inlet to a 1-1/4 inch FPT outlet and weighs approximately 1.006 pounds. It is sold individually and is a standard inventory item for plumbing and pipefitting work.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded size reduction is needed in a straight run. Typical applications include water supply lines, low-pressure gas lines, and general industrial piping where galvanized malleable iron fittings meet the specified material requirements. It is commonly installed during rough-in or retrofit work when connecting pipes of differing nominal diameters.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and impact resistance
• Galvanized zinc finish resists rust and corrosion in humid or exposed conditions
• Reduces from 1-1/2 inch FPT to 1-1/4 inch FPT in a straight coupling body
• Standard female pipe thread on both ends for compatibility with threaded pipe systems
• Sold individually, unit of measure is each

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems using standard NPT female pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
