Midland Industries 62436B1 Barstock Reducing Coupling 1000 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62436B1 is a barstock reducing coupling designed to connect two female-threaded pipe ends of different sizes within a pressurized piping system. It transitions from a 3/4 in FPT connection to a 1/4 in FPT connection, using a 3/4-14 x 1/4-18 thread form. Machined from 304 stainless steel barstock, this coupling is rated for 1000 lb pressure class service. The stainless construction resists corrosion across a wide range of media, making it well suited for industrial, commercial, and mechanical system applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for fittings in this pressure class.

This reducing coupling is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, covering a broad range of piping system types. The 1000 lb pressure class rating positions it for higher-demand mechanical and process piping installations where standard 150 lb or 300 lb brass fittings are insufficient. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial gas piping as well as industrial fluid and steam systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

Key Features

• Reduces 3/4 in FPT to 1/4 in FPT in a single fitting
• 304 stainless steel barstock construction for corrosion resistance
• 1000 lb pressure class rating for higher-demand service
• Compatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam media
• 3/4-14 x 1/4-18 NPT thread form for standard pipe system integration
• Compact and lightweight at 0.4 pounds

Compatibility

Rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam piping systems. Designed as a 1000 lb pressure class OEM-style barstock reducing coupling for applications requiring 304 stainless steel FPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut down and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended media before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling of the threads can occur.
