It transitions from a 1-1\/2 inch female NPT connection to a 1\/2 inch female NPT connection, making it suitable for reducing pipe diameter within pressurized fluid or gas systems. Rated to 3,000 psi, this reducer handles high-pressure service conditions common in industrial, mechanical, and plumbing applications. The dual-grade 304\/304L stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance across a wide range of process environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting in threaded piping assemblies where a direct inline reduction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded inline reduction from 1-1\/2 inch to 1\/2 inch pipe is needed. Typical applications include process piping, water supply systems, compressed air lines, and hydraulic distribution networks. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow straightforward integration into standard NPT threaded piping runs without the need for welding or special tooling. Its 3,000 psi pressure rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines beyond standard residential water supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304\/304L dual-grade stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and process environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT threaded end connections for tool-only installation with no welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline reducer configuration transitions 1-1\/2 inch pipe down to 1\/2 inch pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact threaded fitting design integrates directly into standard NPT piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe reducer compatible with standard NPT piping systems requiring an inline 1-1\/2 inch to 1\/2 inch female-to-female reduction in 304\/304L stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads mating into this fitting per the manufacturer and code requirements. Do not overtighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling of the threads can occur; use proper pipe wrenches and follow standard torque practices for NPT connections.\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\/2 inches\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\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\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: 3,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.31 pounds\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-2408\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542984229170,"sku":"3412D-2408","price":66.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b20737a20f5927b271fa2667ce6ef47_51287d26-8659-4d34-9187-bfbcce8d6de2.jpg?v=1785913039","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3412d-2408-pipe-reducer-1-1-2x1-2-in-fnpt-3000-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
