Value Collection -13073-3 Reducing Coupling 1 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13073-3 is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipe runs where the line size steps down from 1 inch to 1/2 inch. Finished with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, this Class 150 fitting is rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam service. It is a standard threaded fitting used in plumbing, HVAC piping, and gas distribution systems where a reliable, pressure-rated reduction is needed in the line. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This reducing coupling suits residential and light commercial piping systems carrying water, natural gas, propane, steam, or other compatible media within the rated pressure limits. Its malleable iron construction handles the mechanical stress of threaded assembly and normal pipe movement better than cast iron in similar applications. It is appropriate for use in supply lines, distribution headers, and branch take-offs wherever a 1-inch-to-1/2-inch threaded reduction is required.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Rated 300 psi for liquid and gas service
• Rated 150 psi for steam service
• Class 150 pressure classification
• Reduces from 1 inch to 1/2 inch threaded pipe connection
• UNSPSC Code 40175300

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard Class 150 threaded malleable iron piping systems handling liquid, gas, or steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or threading the new coupling into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
