Value Collection 13071G Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13071G is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch female thread and is rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas service and 150 psi on steam service. The Class 150 designation follows standard malleable iron fitting specifications. This fitting is commonly installed by plumbers and pipefitters in commercial and industrial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required in a straight run.

This reducing coupling suits applications in gas distribution, compressed air, water, and steam piping where a step-down from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch pipe is needed. Its malleable iron construction handles moderate pressure and temperature conditions typical of industrial service lines and mechanical rooms. It is appropriate for use in both new construction and repair work on threaded iron pipe systems.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch female NPT threads in a single straight fitting
• Rated 300 psi for liquid and gas service
• Rated 150 psi for steam service
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for durability in pressurized systems
• Threaded on both ends for standard NPT pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 malleable iron threaded pipe systems using standard NPT connections in 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench sized appropriately to the fitting to avoid cracking the casting.
