The larger end accepts a 1-1\/2 inch FPT connection, while the smaller end accepts a 1-1\/4 inch FPT connection, allowing a direct, threaded size reduction without additional adapters. Constructed from lead-free bronze, this fitting meets requirements for potable water applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during new construction, retrofit, and repair work on supply and distribution lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded reduction from 1-1\/2 inch to 1-1\/4 inch is required. Typical applications include water supply distribution, hydronic heating systems, and general fluid-handling lines where bronze fittings are specified. Its compact profile, measuring 2.3 inches in length and 1.85 inches in height, makes it practical in tight mechanical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free bronze construction meets potable water and plumbing code requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch FPT inlet x 1-1\/4 inch FPT outlet for in-line threaded size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact dimensions: 2.3 inches long x 2.3 inches wide x 1.85 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.77 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo additional adapters required for direct FPT-to-FPT size transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for lead-free bronze plumbing systems requiring a 1-1\/2 inch FPT to 1-1\/4 inch FPT reducing connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or threading any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engaging this coupling; do not overtighten, as bronze threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify that all connected components are also lead-free rated when used in potable water service.\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: FPT x FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.85 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: 738119-2420\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949980614962,"sku":"738119-2420","price":43.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d4235443b79e8c924afc6255a9cea7a0.jpg?v=1791705164","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-738119-2420-reducing-coupling-bronze","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
