The larger side accepts 1\/2-inch pipe and the smaller side accepts 1\/4-inch pipe, making it a compact transition fitting for low-pressure fluid and gas lines. Constructed of black iron, this coupling is suited for systems carrying lubricating oils, grease, LP gas, or fuel. It is not rated for potable water service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting in utility piping systems where diameter transitions are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a step-down connection between 1\/2-inch and 1\/4-inch threaded pipe is needed. Typical installations include fuel gas lines, oil lubrication circuits, and grease distribution lines. It is also suitable for general-purpose fluid handling projects that fall outside potable water service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch to 1\/4-inch pipe threads in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack iron construction for fuel gas, oil, and grease service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends accept standard male-threaded pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot approved for potable water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging with a minimum order of one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/2-inch by 1\/4-inch threaded black iron pipe systems used in fuel, oil, grease, and LP gas service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before beginning any fitting work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections. Do not use this fitting in potable water systems or in applications exceeding its rated service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotable Water Rated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHLAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 521-331HC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783834173746,"sku":"521-331HC","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d696240992b11139a85b02b0f899e764_d84587e9-1b14-4493-9506-42104d1d73c7.jpg?v=1789194006","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southland-521-331hc-black-reducing-coupling-1-2x1-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
