Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it delivers strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it well-suited for demanding fluid and gas piping applications. The fitting carries a 150 psi pressure rating and is manufactured to ISO standards. At 2-1\/16 inches in length and 0.58 pounds, it is a compact, durable component installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both commercial and industrial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer is used in piping systems that require a step-down in line size while maintaining a fully threaded connection throughout. Typical applications include process piping, chemical handling, food-service plumbing, marine installations, and any environment where corrosion resistance is a priority. The FNPT x FNPT configuration allows direct thread engagement on both ends, simplifying installation in tight or confined spaces where welded or flanged fittings are not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT threaded ends for straightforward pipe engagement on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO standard compliance for consistent dimensional and performance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2-1\/16 inch length fits confined piping runs and tight equipment connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces line size from 1-1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe reducer for use in standard NPT piping systems rated at 150 psi or below where 316 stainless steel material is specified.\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 IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to complete the connection. Do not over-torque, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 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: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.58 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K612-2406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540243480882,"sku":"K612-2406","price":45.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1550302e5cbe9c4c99ad7338b4666221_36a73623-6b48-4eaf-822c-000d79063083.jpg?v=1785850019","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k612-2406-pipe-reducer-1-1-2x3-8-fnpt-316-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
