The fitting transitions from a 3\/8-inch line down to a 1\/8-inch line and is constructed from malleable iron with a black finish. Rated Class 150, it carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, making it suitable for moderate-pressure plumbing, gas distribution, and compressed air systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this type of fitting where branch or main line diameter changes are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, low-pressure steam, compressed air distribution, and water service piping. The black finish is standard for gas service installations where galvanized fittings are not permitted. This fitting ships in a package quantity of 5, making it a practical choice for service trucks and job-site parts inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch to 1\/8-inch in a single threaded fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance versus cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish is standard for gas line service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 150 rated with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded end connections for standard NPT installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 5 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at Class 150 or lower pressure service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas service technicians. Always shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per standard pipefitting practice. For gas service, verify compliance with local codes and IFGC requirements before returning the system to service.\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: 3\/8 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\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: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi (liquid and gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175303\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: 13279\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694376911154,"sku":"13279","price":40.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d651eb4f35b8eed08102b712c1f4ed62.jpg?v=1788323828","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-13279-black-reducing-coupling-3-8x1-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
