Value Collection 13069 Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13069 is a Class 150 malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of different diameters in threaded piping systems. It steps down from a 1/4-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch female thread and carries a 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service and a 150 psi rating for steam service. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or humid environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in low-pressure piping systems for water, air, gas, and steam applications where a threaded reduction is required between two NPT-threaded pipe runs.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air lines, and low-pressure steam systems. Its Class 150 malleable iron construction meets common specifications for threaded pipe fittings used in building mechanical systems. The 1/4-inch by 1/8-inch size is frequently used in branch connections, instrument takeoffs, and small-diameter gas supply lines where a reduction to a smaller threaded outlet is needed.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch female NPT threads for inline diameter transitions
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable service in pressurized piping
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam applications
• Class 150 malleable iron construction offers strength and ductility under mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in damp or exposed installation environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded malleable iron pipe systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local mechanical codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron can crack if excessive force is applied.
