Value Collection -13072-2G Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13072-2G is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipe runs where a 3/4-inch line transitions down to a 3/8-inch line. The fitting carries a Class 150 rating with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi. A galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in a range of pipe system environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in threaded piping systems for gas, water, and steam distribution applications where a reduction in pipe diameter is required inline.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. Typical installations include branch line reductions in natural gas supply piping, compressed air distribution, and general liquid service lines. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for both interior and exposed service environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch pipe in a single inline fitting
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable service under working pressure
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam systems
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for strength and machinability
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion protection in general service environments
• Threaded connection type compatible with standard NPT pipe threads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit reducing coupling for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch inline reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium, whether gas, steam, or liquid. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
