Value Collection -13073-2 Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13073-2 is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipe runs of two different sizes within threaded piping systems. Sized at 1 inch by 3/8 inch, it steps down the line diameter while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant threaded joint. This Class 150 fitting carries a pressure rating of 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 300 psi for steam service. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in a range of plumbing and mechanical environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work on threaded iron pipe systems.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving water, gas, steam, and compatible liquid lines. It is used wherever a threaded iron piping system requires a reduction from a 1-inch nominal pipe to a 3/8-inch nominal pipe. Typical install scenarios include branch connections, boiler piping, gas distribution lines, and general industrial plumbing where malleable iron fittings are specified. Sold in a package quantity of 5.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas service. Shut off the relevant supply line and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
