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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized zinc finish resists rust and corrosion in humid or exposed conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 1-1\/2 inch FPT to 1-1\/4 inch FPT in a straight coupling body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard female pipe thread on both ends for compatibility with threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually, unit of measure is each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems using standard NPT female pipe thread connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\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\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT \/ NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.006 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291031069\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: 8700135653\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346400280882,"sku":"8700135653","price":25.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547402.jpg?v=1782079261","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700135653-reducing-galvanized-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
