Built from extra heavy malleable iron with a black finish, this coupling delivers added wall thickness and strength compared to standard fittings, making it well suited for high-pressure or mechanical-stress applications. The 1-1\/2 inch by 1 inch reducing configuration allows connection between two different pipe sizes within the same run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in commercial and industrial systems where a standard-weight coupling is not appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling sees use in black iron gas piping, steam systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial plumbing where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The extra heavy wall designation makes it a common choice where system pressure ratings or code requirements call for upgraded fitting strength. It is installed by threading directly onto male-threaded pipe ends and is compatible with standard NPT thread patterns typical of iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy malleable iron construction for increased pressure and mechanical strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas piping, steam, and compressed air applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 1-1\/2 inch to 1 inch for transitioning between pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for straightforward installation with standard NPT pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavier wall thickness compared to standard-weight malleable iron couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems using NPT connections in residential, commercial, or industrial applications.\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 plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up the joint, and tighten to proper engagement using pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque, as this can crack the fitting body.\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\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches x 1 inch (reducing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.47 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701200366\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: 20036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347309527346,"sku":"20036","price":42.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553984.jpg?v=1782101093","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-20036-black-malleable-iron-pipe-coupling-1-1-2x1-xh","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
