Asc Engineered Solutions 8700135703 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700135703 is a reducing galvanized coupling designed for joining female-threaded pipe sections of two different sizes in a single inline connection. Built from malleable iron, this fitting delivers high tensile strength suited to the mechanical and thermal stresses found in commercial and residential piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in wet or humid environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when transitioning from a 1-1/2 inch line to a 1 inch line within a threaded pipe assembly.

This reducing coupling is appropriate for use in water supply, drainage, and general industrial piping systems where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. The female pipe thread on both ends accepts standard NPT-threaded pipe. It is suited for residential plumbing, light commercial mechanical rooms, and industrial applications where a step-down transition between pipe diameters is required. Install it where reducing the line size is necessary to match downstream components such as valves, pumps, or fixture supply lines.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength for durable threaded connections
• Galvanized finish resists rust and corrosion in wet service environments
• 1-1/2 inch x 1 inch FPT configuration allows inline diameter reduction without additional fittings
• Female pipe thread on both ends accepts standard NPT-threaded pipe
• Sold individually for single-point repairs or new installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for threaded galvanized malleable iron piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
