Midland Industries 62445MS Reducing Coupling 1-1/4 in X 3/4 in Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62445MS is a reducing coupling designed to connect a 1-1/4-inch female NPT port to a 3/4-inch female NPT port in piping systems where a threaded diameter reduction is required. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting resists corrosion and holds up in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor service environments. It carries a 150 lb pressure class rating and uses standard 1-1/4-11-1/2 NPT threads on the larger end and 3/4-14 NPT threads on the smaller end. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during system assembly or repair wherever a piping run steps down in diameter.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water supply, irrigation, and fluid distribution systems that call for threaded 304 stainless steel fittings. It is part of the SP-114 Fittings line, which covers 304 stainless steel nipples and couplings in standard NPT configurations. The fitting is appropriate for applications where iron or brass fittings are not acceptable due to corrosion concerns or material compatibility requirements.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical service environments
• 1-1/4 in female NPT inlet x 3/4 in female NPT outlet for in-line diameter reduction
• 150 lb pressure class rating for standard service applications
• Thread specification: 1-1/4-11-1/2 NPT x 3/4-14 NPT for reliable sealed connections
• Compact profile at 1.95 inches height and 2.1 inches length for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 in female NPT to 3/4 in female NPT reducing connection in 304 stainless steel at 150 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being engaged into this fitting, taking care not to over-apply tape into the thread path. Do not over-torque threaded connections into the stainless steel fitting, as this can distort threads and compromise the seal.
