It accepts a 1-1\/2 in female pipe thread (FPT) on one end and a 1\/2 in FPT on the other, allowing a step-down transition within a threaded piping run. Rated for 150 lb pressure service, it conforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exposed or moderately corrosive environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial piping systems where a reduction in line size is required at a threaded joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose threaded pipe systems operating within a temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. It is commonly installed in residential and commercial applications where a 1-1\/2 in main line must be reduced to a 1\/2 in branch or outlet. The 150 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for standard low- and medium-pressure service lines. Plumbers and pipefitters working with Schedule 40 galvanized pipe will encounter this fitting regularly in retrofit and new construction work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-down reducing coupling: 1-1\/2 in FPT inlet to 1\/2 in FPT outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class rated per ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread specification: 1-1\/2-11-1\/2 NPT x 1\/2-14 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 150 lb galvanized malleable iron pipe systems conforming to ANSI B 16.3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with proper jaw support to avoid cracking the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2-11-1\/2 x 1\/2-14 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: Malleable Iron, Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B 16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20 to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.77 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: 64447\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950462337330,"sku":"64447","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0e5b7089456f3c822797e71c3059d44e_fd536fb8-5cbd-4971-8e95-bd289d52f1fa.jpg?v=1791718681","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-64447-reducing-coupling-1-1-2x1-2-fpt-150lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
