Asc Engineered Solutions 8700135901 Reducing Galvanized Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700135901 is a reducing galvanized coupling designed to connect female pipe threads of two different sizes in a single inline fitting. Built from malleable iron, this fitting delivers high tensile strength suited for demanding piping installations. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in environments exposed to moisture. It transitions from a 2-inch FPT connection down to a 1-1/4-inch FPT connection, making it a direct solution when piping systems require a concentric inline reduction. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems.

This reducing coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications where a straight inline reduction is needed between two female-threaded pipe runs. Typical use cases include retrofitting existing galvanized or black iron pipe systems, connecting dissimilar-diameter pipe segments, and completing repairs or extensions on legacy piping infrastructure. The malleable iron construction handles standard working pressures found in water and gas service lines.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength for durable service
• Galvanized finish resists rust and corrosion in wet or exposed environments
• 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch inline reduction in a single fitting
• Female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends for straightforward threaded assembly
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or threading on this coupling. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being joined before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
