It transitions from a 1-1\/2 inch female NPT inlet to a 1\/4 inch female NPT outlet and is rated for 3000 psi working pressure. The body is machined from 304\/304L dual-certified stainless steel, offering strong resistance to corrosion in wet, chemical, and moderate-temperature service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air, hydraulic, process piping, and fluid transfer lines where a size reduction and permanent threaded connection are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications. The FNPT x FNPT configuration accepts standard tapered pipe threads on both ends, making it compatible with common threaded pipe assemblies. It is appropriate for use in water supply systems, instrumentation lines, pneumatic circuits, and general-purpose process piping where stainless steel material is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-certified 304\/304L stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections accept standard tapered pipe threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact reducer design transitions 1-1\/2 inch pipe down to 1\/4 inch in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40175300 for procurement and catalog classification compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded replacement reducer for standard NPT piping systems requiring a 1-1\/2 inch to 1\/4 inch diameter reduction in stainless steel service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this reducer. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads being engaged, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per the sealant manufacturer guidance. Do not overtighten stainless steel threaded fittings, as galling of the threads can occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 \/ 304L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3412D-2404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539119931698,"sku":"3412D-2404","price":126.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b20737a20f5927b271fa2667ce6ef47_08cb4086-5c90-45f8-9e5c-51bf9625b877.jpg?v=1785834969","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3412d-2404-pipe-reducer-1-1-2-x-1-4-inch-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
