Asc Engineered Solutions 8700135950 Reducing Galvanized Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700135950 is a reducing galvanized coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. Built from malleable iron, this fitting reduces a 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection down to a 1-inch FPT connection. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for installations where moisture exposure is a concern. Malleable iron construction delivers high tensile strength, allowing it to handle the mechanical stress common in commercial and industrial piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of fitting for reliable, code-compliant threaded connections.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe size transition is needed. Common applications include water distribution, gas piping, and mechanical room installations. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use wherever a 2-inch-to-1-inch female pipe thread reduction is required on malleable iron or compatible steel pipe systems.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch FPT to 1-inch FPT for threaded pipe size transitions
• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and durability
• Galvanized finish resists rust and corrosion in moisture-prone environments
• Sold individually — unit of measure is each
• Weighs 1.4 pounds for straightforward handling on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-inch female pipe thread reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as malleable iron can crack under excessive force.
