It transitions from a 3\/4-inch female BSP tapered (FBSPT) inlet to a 3\/8-inch FBSPT outlet, allowing a plumber or pipefitter to reduce pipe diameter without additional adapters. Rated at Class 125, this coupling is suitable for low-to-medium pressure service in water, air, and compatible fluid systems. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing when installed with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. The fitting weighs 0.2365 pounds and ships individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic lines, compressed air distribution, and general fluid handling applications where a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded connection point. Its FBSPT x FBSPT end configuration makes it a direct threaded connection — no soldering or crimping required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters routinely stock this type of fitting for service calls and new installations where line sizing changes are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/4-inch to 3\/8-inch female BSP tapered threads in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFBSPT x FBSPT end connections accept standard tapered male pipe threads on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for water, air, and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance and long service life in wet environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.2365 pounds — easy to handle and carry in a service kit\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 brass pipe systems using standard BSP tapered thread connections in 3\/4-inch and 3\/8-inch nominal pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply PTFE tape or a listed pipe thread sealant to the male threads before making up the joint — do not apply sealant to female threads. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit; avoid over-torquing brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\/4 x 3\/8 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\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class 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: 0.2365 pounds\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: XB112-1206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541795012914,"sku":"XB112-1206","price":25.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/83856fb07659c0b588a168696458405a.jpg?v=1785885167","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb112-1206-brass-reducing-coupling-3-4x3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
