Value Collection 13072 Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13072 is a Class 150 malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect 1/2-inch pipe to 3/8-inch pipe in threaded piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in both liquid and gas service lines. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas applications and 150 psi for steam service, this coupling meets the pressure demands of typical commercial and industrial pipe runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting where a threaded reduction is needed without additional fittings or adapters. The malleable iron construction offers durability and machinability suited for threaded connections.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and steam piping systems where a size reduction from 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch is required in a straight run. Common applications include supply line transitions, branch takeoffs, and equipment connections in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility installations. It is appropriate for both above-ground and in-wall installations where code-compliant threaded fittings are specified.

• Reduces from 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch in a single inline fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Class 150 malleable iron threaded pipe systems using 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant or pipe tape appropriate for the service medium before assembly. Do not exceed the rated pressure limits for the intended service type.
