It connects two female pipe thread (FPT) fittings of different sizes, stepping down from a 1-1\/2 inch FPT connection to a 1-1\/4 inch FPT connection. The 1-1\/2 inch end uses an 11-1\/2 threads-per-inch taper, and so does the 1-1\/4 inch end, conforming to standard NPT thread geometry. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water, gas, and general piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit applications where a pipe run must transition between two common pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial piping where malleable iron fittings are required. Its 150 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for low-pressure water, air, and gas service. The fitting meets ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards, so it mates reliably with other standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings from any compliant manufacturer. It is commonly used in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping where galvanized fittings are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 1-1\/2 in FPT to 1-1\/4 in FPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction withstands mechanical stress and vibration better than cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists corrosion in wet and humid service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 150 lb pressure class for low-pressure piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards for assured thread compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F covers typical mechanical system service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems using 1-1\/2 inch and 1-1\/4 inch nominal pipe sizes in galvanized 150 lb malleable iron service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or threading in this coupling. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug fit without over-torquing, which can crack malleable iron fittings. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use the fitting if threads are crossed or deformed.\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: 1-1\/4 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2-11-1\/2 x 1-1\/4-11-1\/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: 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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.31 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: 0.82 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F\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: 64450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950418723122,"sku":"64450","price":21.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0e5b7089456f3c822797e71c3059d44e_5b42bbd6-ac9f-4e0e-ac7f-540cde2916d8.jpg?v=1791716905","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-64450-reducing-coupling-1-1-2-x-1-1-4-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
