Value Collection 12133 Reducing Coupling 3/8x1/4 Npt 5 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12133 is a black-finish steel reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe sections of different diameters. It features a 3/8-inch female NPT inlet and a 1/4-inch female NPT outlet, allowing installers to step down pipe size within a run. The black finish is standard for low-pressure air, gas, and water distribution systems. This coupling is a common stock fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with threaded iron pipe assemblies. Each package contains 5 couplings.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where NPT-threaded connections are required. Typical uses include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing runs where a pipe diameter reduction is needed mid-line. The all-steel construction handles the mechanical stress of threaded assembly and the demands of trade-grade installation environments.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/8-inch NPT to 1/4-inch NPT in a single fitting
• Steel construction for durability in gas, air, and water service
• Black finish standard for iron pipe system compatibility
• NPT threaded end connections for straightforward wrench installation
• Packaged in quantities of 5 per unit for job-site convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems requiring a 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the intended service. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the specific media before assembly. Use a pipe wrench to achieve proper thread engagement without overtightening. Shut off supply pressure and verify the line is depressurized before removing or replacing any fitting.
