Midland Industries 62460B1 Reducing Coupling 1-1/4 X 3/8 Fpt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62460B1 is a barstock reducing coupling designed to connect two female pipe thread (FPT) ports of different sizes within a piping system. Machined from 304 stainless steel, this coupling transitions from a 1-1/4 inch FPT connection to a 3/8 inch FPT connection and carries a 1000 lb pressure class rating. The thread specifications are 1-1/4-11-1/2 NPT on the larger end and 3/8-18 NPT on the smaller end. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on industrial and commercial piping assemblies where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial systems handling air, water, oil, natural gas, or steam. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosive conditions or sanitary concerns call for a non-ferrous fitting. Typical installation scenarios include manifold assemblies, equipment connections, and branch reductions in process piping or utility systems where a transition from a larger header to a smaller service line is needed.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-1/4 inch FPT to 3/8 inch FPT in a single fitting
• 1000 lb pressure class rating for demanding service applications
• 304 stainless steel barstock construction for corrosion resistance
• Compatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam media
• Thread sizes: 1-1/4-11-1/2 NPT x 3/8-18 NPT

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit coupling for 1000 lb class stainless steel piping assemblies using standard NPT female threaded connections in air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing any existing fitting or installing this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended media, particularly when used in gas or steam service. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as barstock stainless fittings are precision-machined and can be damaged by excessive force.
