Rated at 150 lb, this coupling features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on both ends, accepting a 3\/4 inch nominal pipe on one side and a 1\/2 inch nominal pipe on the other. The black finish is standard for malleable iron fittings used in gas, air, and similar non-potable service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and service work on low-pressure piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a threaded size transition is needed inline. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose black iron piping assemblies. The domestically manufactured construction meets expectations for fittings used in code-compliant installations requiring traceable, American-made components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/4 inch nominal to 1\/2 inch nominal in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas, air, and non-potable piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured for traceability on code-sensitive jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3\/4 inch by 1\/2 inch nominal threaded black iron piping systems rated at 150 lb service class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a wrench-tight fit. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 x 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXD.BMC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525056135474,"sku":"BLRED3412","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2d08f1465c1c137cb6b2f48ae7bc1b5e_a59c696c-2575-43f2-8d4a-5f2b5b9160f6.jpg?v=1785463383","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-exd-bmc-3-4x1-2-in-reducing-coupling-150lb-malleable-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
