It steps down from a 1\/2-inch FPT port to a 3\/8-inch FPT port, with thread specifications of 1\/2-14 and 3\/8-18. Machined from 304 stainless steel and rated to 1000 lb pressure class, this fitting is suited for demanding service environments where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are both required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of coupling when reducing pipe size within a run without additional fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, making it a versatile choice across plumbing, HVAC, industrial, and light commercial piping systems. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial installations where a threaded inline reduction is needed and 304 stainless steel is specified for the service fluid or environment. The 1000 lb pressure class positions it well above standard 150 lb fittings, suitable for higher-pressure process and utility lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteps down from 1\/2 in FPT to 3\/8 in FPT in a single inline body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000 lb pressure class rating for high-pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread specifications: 1\/2-14 NPT x 3\/8-18 NPT for standard pipe thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarstock machined body provides consistent dimensional accuracy and wall integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam.

Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur; hand-tighten first and use a pipe wrench for final engagement.\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 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 x 3\/8-18 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Air, Water, Oil, Natural Gas, Steam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 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: 62435B1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952091758898,"sku":"62435B1","price":38.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b1bb23d4f5668daac35ee412c42dba12_1ec0505e-7044-46fc-94b2-2a349befba01.jpg?v=1791746439","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-62435b1-barstock-reducing-coupling-1-2x3-8-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
