Midland Industries 62460MS Reducing Coupling 1-1/4 X 3/8 Npt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62460MS is a reducing coupling designed to connect two female NPT pipe threads of different sizes within a single fitting. It accepts a 1-1/4-inch female NPT on one end and a 3/8-inch female NPT on the other, allowing a step-down transition in a threaded piping system. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this coupling offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding service environments. With a 150 lb pressure class rating and standard NPT thread forms, it fits cleanly into fluid or gas distribution systems where a size reduction is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial applications where material integrity and thread reliability are critical.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial fluid systems, and process piping where a threaded size transition from 1-1/4 inch down to 3/8 inch is needed. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for water, mild chemical, and general-purpose fluid service. It is a part of the SP-114 fittings line and falls within the standard reducing coupling category for threaded pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• 1-1/4-inch female NPT inlet to 3/8-inch female NPT outlet for in-line size reduction
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and mild chemical environments
• 150 lb pressure class rating for standard service piping systems
• Thread specification: 1-1/4-11-1/2 NPT x 3/8-18 NPT per standard ANSI thread forms
• Compact body dimensions for installation in tight piping layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting compatible with standard female NPT piping systems rated at 150 lb pressure class where a 1-1/4-inch to 3/8-inch reducing transition is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being engaged into this coupling. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling if excess torque is applied without proper lubrication.
