Msi Products Inc A323083206 Ss Reducing Coupling 2x3/8in

Product Description

The MSI PRODUCTS INC A323083206 is a Class 150 reducing coupling machined from 316 stainless steel for use in threaded piping systems that require a transition between two different pipe diameters. The fitting connects a 2-inch pipe to a 3/8-inch pipe using female NPT threads on both ends. Cast construction produces consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy across the body. The 316 stainless alloy provides strong resistance to chlorides, acids, and harsh chemicals, making this coupling suitable for demanding service conditions. Rated at 150 PSI, it is well suited for low-pressure applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducing coupling is designed for use in marine environments, chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical systems, and sanitary piping applications where 316 stainless steel is specified over standard 304 alloy or carbon steel. The female NPT threads on both ends allow it to thread directly onto standard NPT-threaded pipe ends or nipples. It is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems as well as industrial process piping where the fluid media or environmental exposure demands a corrosion-resistant fitting material.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists chlorides, acids, and harsh chemicals
• Female NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connection
• Reduces from 2-inch to 3/8-inch pipe diameter in a single fitting
• Cast body provides consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy
• Precision-machined threads promote reliable, leak-resistant makeup
• Rated to 150 PSI for low-pressure threaded piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 female NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 3/8-inch reducing connection in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads being joined to this coupling. Do not over-tighten, as excessive force can crack cast stainless fittings or distort thread engagement.
