Midland Industries 62463MS Reducing Coupling 3x2.5in Ss Npt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62463MS is a reducing coupling designed to connect two female NPT-threaded pipe sections of different diameters within a piping system. The larger end accepts a 3-inch female NPT connection with a 3-8 thread, while the smaller end accepts a 2-1/2-inch female NPT connection with a 2-1/2-8 thread. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting offers reliable corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Rated at a 150 lb pressure class, the 62463MS is suited for moderate-pressure piping applications where a threaded diameter reduction is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This reducing coupling is used in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty residential piping systems where a threaded transition from 3-inch to 2-1/2-inch pipe is needed. Typical applications include process piping, water supply lines, and general fluid-handling systems that specify 304 stainless steel fittings for corrosion resistance or sanitary considerations. The 150 lb pressure class rating makes it appropriate for a wide range of standard service conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for piping systems requiring a threaded 3-inch to 2-1/2-inch female NPT reduction in 304 stainless steel at a 150 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC where required. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threaded pipe ends before engagement. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings can gall if excessive force is applied during assembly.
