It steps down from a 1-inch FPT connection to a 3\/8-inch FPT connection using a 1-11-1\/2 x 3\/8-18 thread form. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the fitting resists corrosion and holds up in wet, chemical-exposure, or outdoor service conditions. At 0.32 pounds and compact overall dimensions, it is a practical hardware-level component for plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on distribution and branch piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, making it suitable across a wide range of residential and light commercial piping applications. Typical installation scenarios include reducing main line branch connections, adapting distribution headers to smaller service lines, and connecting instrumentation or control ports to process piping. The 150 lb pressure class places it within standard service piping applications where moderate pressure ratings are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteps down from 1-inch FPT to 3\/8-inch FPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class for standard service piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread form: 1-11-1\/2 x 3\/8-18 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.32 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam piping systems.

Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug fit using a pipe wrench without over-stressing the fitting. For natural gas or steam service, verify the installation meets local inspection and pressure-test requirements before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11-1\/2 x 3\/8-18 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\u003eCompatible Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Air, Water, Oil, Natural Gas, Steam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.32 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 62440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948757549362,"sku":"62440","price":40.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/715cee8011d86e7f2c060e8eb89d8b3e_335360de-4419-4f98-8f43-ede91a35bffa.jpg?v=1791671854","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-62440-reducing-coupling-1x3-8-fpt-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
