It steps down from a 1\/2-inch female thread to a 3\/8-inch female thread and is rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas service and 150 psi on steam service. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or mildly corrosive environments. This Class 150 fitting is a standard component installed by plumbers and pipefitters in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a threaded pipe size reduction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for use in gas distribution lines, domestic water supply, compressed air, and low-pressure steam piping. Its malleable iron construction allows it to handle the mechanical stress of wrench-tightening without cracking, making it a reliable choice for systems that require periodic maintenance or disassembly. The 1\/2 x 3\/8 inch configuration is one of the most common reducing sizes found in residential gas and water rough-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch female NPT threads for inline pipe diameter transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 300 psi for liquid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 150 psi for steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 150 malleable iron construction resists cracking under torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard Class 150 malleable iron threaded fitting compatible with NPT-threaded pipe systems in gas, liquid, and low-pressure steam service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque; tighten to a firm, wrench-tight fit appropriate for the pipe material and service type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid and Gas Pressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteam Pressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13072G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692951273778,"sku":"13072G","price":25.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e843acead84e174059231853bef506b4.jpg?v=1788305354","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-13072g-reducing-coupling-1-2-x-3-8-inch-galvanized","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
