Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas service environments. It carries a 150 lb pressure class rating and is threaded to 3\/4-14 NPT on the larger end and 1\/2-14 NPT on the smaller end. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when reducing pipe size inline without changing flow direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems where NPT-threaded stainless steel fittings are specified. The SP-114 series designation places it within a line of 304 stainless steel fittings built for general-purpose pipe work. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic lines, and process piping where corrosion resistance and a secure threaded connection are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch female NPT x 1\/2-inch female NPT reducing configuration for inline pipe size transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class rating for general-purpose pipe service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-14 x 1\/2-14 thread specification for standard NPT compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 1.5 inches height and 1.35 inches length for tight-space installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded pipe systems requiring a 3\/4-inch to 1\/2-inch female-to-female reducing connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being engaged into this fitting. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are subject to galling if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication or anti-seize compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-14 x 1\/2-14 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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: 62438MS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949912097074,"sku":"62438MS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/061d3ef0120d7c3e76ffe946463807fb_b1c5cb3d-d07e-46bc-a04c-518e96749d29.jpg?v=1791704086","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-62438ms-reducing-coupling-3-4-x-1-2-in-npt-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
