Midland Industries 62436 Reducing Coupling 3/4 Fpt X 1/4 Fpt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62436 is a 304 stainless steel reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe lines of different sizes within a single inline fitting. It steps down from a 3/4 in female pipe thread (FPT) on one end to a 1/4 in FPT on the other, allowing technicians to reduce pipe size without additional adapters. Rated at 150 lb pressure class, it is suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas service applications. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding environments. Threads are cut to 3/4-14 and 1/4-18 NPT standards. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this fitting as a direct inline reducer in new construction and retrofit work.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a pipe size change is required at a threaded connection point. Approved media include air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, making it a versatile fitting across multiple trade disciplines. It fits neatly into tight spaces, with an overall length of approximately 1.1 inches and a width of 1.15 inches. The 150 lb pressure rating aligns with standard low-pressure service requirements common in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing any existing fittings or installing this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench and tighten to snug plus a standard number of turns per trade practice for the pipe material and service type.
