One end accepts 1\/2-inch female NPTF (1\/2-14 thread) and the other accepts 3\/8-inch female NPTF (3\/8-18 thread), making it a practical solution for reducing down between pipe runs without additional adapters. The coupling is rated to 1200 psi and handles temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F. The 1.06-inch hex profile allows for secure wrench engagement during installation. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability across a wide range of fluid and gas service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where a transition between 1\/2-inch and 3\/8-inch female threaded connections is required. It is compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly use this fitting in gas, air, oil, and water service lines within the rated pressure and temperature limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch Female NPTF x 3\/8-inch Female NPTF reducing configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1200 psi maximum pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.06-inch hex for wrench-tight installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe in systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch female NPTF threaded reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading in the coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threaded pipe ends before engagement. Use a wrench on the hex flats only  -  do not grip the body of the fitting  -  and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without over-torquing brass threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.06 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 inches\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: 0.195 pounds\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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948844646706,"sku":"28185","price":16.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/719220435cc687476f9ad4b4f46a0180_970df07c-dbfd-4f40-85f8-a281c86f7324.jpg?v=1791674660","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-28185-brass-reducing-coupling-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
