Midland Industries 63452 Reducing Coupling 2in X 1in Ss 150lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 63452 is a 316 stainless steel reducing coupling rated at 150 lb pressure class. It connects a 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 1-inch FPT outlet, making it a direct solution for reducing pipe diameter in a threaded piping system. The 2-11/2 x 1-11/2 thread specification ensures compatibility with standard NPT pipe threads at both ends. At 0.91 pounds and compact dimensions of 2.75 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches, it installs easily in tight spaces. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducing coupling is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam, making it suitable across a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial piping applications. It is well suited for process piping, HVAC hydronic systems, gas distribution lines, and steam service where a threaded reduction from 2 inches to 1 inch is required. The 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding or corrosive service environments where standard steel or brass fittings are not appropriate.

Compatibility

Designed for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam piping systems using standard 2-inch and 1-inch NPT threaded connections at 150 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where natural gas service is involved. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the fitting onto the pipe. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack or distort threaded fittings.
