It features female BSP tapered (FBSPT) threads on both ends, accepting a 3\/8-inch pipe on one side and a 1\/4-inch pipe on the other. Rated Class 125, it is suitable for moderate-pressure service in water, air, and compatible fluid lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting when reducing pipe diameter inline without additional adapters or bushings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and small-bore water lines, compressed air distribution, and general fluid handling applications where a threaded inline size reduction is required. The FBSPT x FBSPT thread configuration makes it compatible with standard tapered female-thread pipe assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch pipe in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale BSP tapered threads on both ends for secure, pressure-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suits standard residential and light commercial piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor simplifies installation in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for threaded brass piping systems requiring an inline reduction from 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch female BSP tapered connections.\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. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fittings or threading in this coupling. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service fluid to all male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; stop when the joint is snug and pressure-tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FBSPT x FBSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 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: XB112-0604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539035193650,"sku":"XB112-0604","price":29.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0a22de1fb279acdff985aee505fe1b61.jpg?v=1785833364","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb112-0604-brass-reducing-coupling-3-8x1-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
