Value Collection 13070 Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13070 is a Class 150 malleable iron reducing coupling designed for connecting threaded pipe runs where a 3/8 inch line steps down to a 1/4 inch line. The fitting carries a 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service and a 150 psi rating for steam. A galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or mildly corrosive environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting in low-pressure gas distribution, water supply, and steam distribution systems where a durable, code-compliant threaded connection is required.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. Typical installations include natural gas branch lines, compressed air distribution, hydronic heating systems, and general-purpose water service piping. The Class 150 designation aligns with standard pipe fitting service requirements for low-pressure threaded iron pipe systems. Sold in a package quantity of 5 per order.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/8 inch female thread to 1/4 inch female thread in a single fitting
• Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service
• Rated at 150 psi for steam service
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for strength and machinability
• Galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance
• Threaded ends for use with standard NPT pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems in Class 150 low-pressure liquid, gas, and steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not use galvanized fittings in high-temperature steam systems that exceed the rated 150 psi steam pressure rating of this fitting.
