It transitions from a 1-1\/4 inch nominal female thread to a 3\/4 inch nominal female thread, using FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) end connections on both sides. Rated at 125 lb, this coupling suits low-to-medium pressure water, gas, and general plumbing service lines. The rough brass finish is standard for embedded or concealed installations. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general fluid distribution systems where a threaded inline diameter reduction is required. It is suited for installations involving 1-1\/4 inch supply or distribution lines that step down to 3\/4 inch branch or service lines. The FNPT connection on both ends allows direct threaded makeup with standard NPT male fittings and pipe ends without additional adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-1\/4 inch nominal to 3\/4 inch nominal in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFNPT end style on both ends for standard NPT threaded makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating suitable for general plumbing and low-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish appropriate for concealed or embedded piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded brass reducer coupling for use with standard 1-1\/4 inch and 3\/4 inch NPT male-threaded pipe and fittings in residential and commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing any existing fitting or making up new connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before makeup — do not apply sealant to female threads. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit; avoid overtightening brass fittings, which can crack the female threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 x 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rough\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: XNL112-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525365137714,"sku":"RED11434LF","price":35.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5151895cafdb9e3e8373315c31ccd75f_8adda1b4-eacc-4d42-a7dd-44219e9e8b73.jpg?v=1785471794","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl112-2012-pipe-reducer-coupling-1-1-4x3-4-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
