With a reducing configuration of 3\/4 inch by 3\/8 inch, this coupling connects two different pipe sizes within the same run. The extra heavy wall construction provides greater resistance to pressure and mechanical stress compared to standard-weight fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both residential and commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for use in water supply, steam, gas, and industrial piping systems where a step-down from 3\/4 inch to 3\/8 inch pipe is required. The black finish is standard for gas piping and non-potable applications. Extra heavy fittings are commonly specified in industrial environments, high-pressure lines, and locations where added wall thickness is required by code or engineering specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy malleable iron construction for increased pressure and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch by 3\/8 inch reducing configuration for step-down pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas and non-potable piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for standard NPT pipe compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style extra heavy malleable iron reducing coupling for use with standard NPT-threaded pipe in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems.\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 plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 x 3\/8 inches (reducing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701200243\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: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343901557042,"sku":"20024","price":29.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553799.jpg?v=1782025484","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-20024-black-xh-malleable-iron-pipe-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
