Asc Engineered Solutions 8700135752 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700135752 is a reducing galvanized malleable iron coupling designed to connect pipes of two different female pipe thread (FPT) sizes: 1-1/2 inches and 3/4 inches. Built from malleable iron, this fitting delivers high tensile strength suited for demanding piping applications. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice in environments where rust is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems where a threaded reduction between two pipe sizes is required.

This reducing coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations. It is commonly used where a main line at 1-1/2 inches must transition to a 3/4-inch branch or service line. The FPT connections on both ends accept male-threaded pipe or fittings, allowing straightforward integration into standard threaded pipe assemblies. It is sold and installed as individual units, making it easy to spec for single-point repairs or new construction rough-in work.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength for pressurized piping systems
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion and rust in wet or humid environments
• 1-1/2 inch to 3/4 inch reducing configuration for step-down pipe connections
• Female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering on service and repair calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch female pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench sized for the fitting to achieve a secure, leak-free joint without cracking the casting.
