The larger port accepts a 4 in FPT connection and the smaller port accepts a 2 in FPT connection. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding service conditions. It is suited for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when a pipe run requires a transition between nominal pipe sizes within a threaded piping system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is rated for 150 lb pressure class service and is appropriate for both residential and commercial piping installations. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it a reliable choice in environments where moisture, chemicals, or corrosive media are present. Thread standards follow standard tapered pipe thread sizing: 4 in uses 8 threads per inch and 2 in uses 11-1\/2 threads per inch. Typical applications include process piping, mechanical rooms, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial fluid distribution where a concentric pipe size reduction is needed without changing to a different fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 in FPT x 2 in FPT configuration for a two-size pipe diameter reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class rating suitable for standard commercial and industrial service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard NPT thread profile: 4 in at 8 TPI and 2 in at 11-1\/2 TPI for reliable thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam.

Shut down system pressure and isolate the section of pipe before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads of the mating pipe before engagement. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to galling if threads are forced under excessive torque without proper lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 in FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 in FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-8 NPT x 2-11-1\/2 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Air, Water, Oil, Natural Gas, Steam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.88 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63464\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948637520178,"sku":"63464","price":399.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a57017129bd39c5d6f4c139e93496ff_eda7b612-5301-4ab0-9c38-f68d0c275692.jpg?v=1791669406","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-63464-reducing-coupling-4x2-in-fpt-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
