Sized at 1 inch by 1\/2 inch, this coupling transitions flow from a larger pipe to a smaller one, making it a practical fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The black finish indicates a standard black malleable iron or black pipe fitting construction, commonly used in gas piping, fire suppression, and industrial plumbing installations. Sold in a package of 5 units, it suits jobs requiring multiple fittings in a single run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for threaded pipe systems where a reduction in pipe size is needed along a run. It is commonly installed in gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and water piping where black iron fittings are specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1 inch to 1\/2 inch pipe diameter in a single threaded fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas, air, and industrial piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 5 units for multi-fitting jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded connection type for standard pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact coupling form factor fits tight piping layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded pipe systems requiring a 1 inch to 1\/2 inch reduction in black iron or compatible pipe materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where gas service is involved. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can crack or deform the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.74 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: B K Mueller Industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 521-353HN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559393526066,"sku":"521-353HN","price":20.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faeab08b7254e3d713a5ec56572e97cb_ae8d735c-eb82-49c9-951d-74498ac71628.jpg?v=1786431080","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/b-k-mueller-521-353hn-black-reducing-coupling-1x1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
