Asc Engineered Solutions 8700166906 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700166906 is a 3 inches x 2 inches black reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. This fitting steps down from a 3-inch nominal pipe thread to a 2-inch nominal pipe thread, allowing trades to join pipes of different diameters within the same run. Rated at 150 lb, it is built for standard-pressure service in both residential and light commercial applications. The black finish is typical of malleable iron or steel fittings used in gas, air, and non-potable water systems. This coupling ships in a package quantity of 5 units.

This reducing coupling is suited for gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, fire suppression systems, and mechanical room piping where a threaded reducer is needed between two pipe sizes. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC-R mechanics working on black iron pipe systems. Domestic manufacture supports projects with domestic-sourcing requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
