Value Collection 13279G Reducing Coupling 3/8 X 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13279G is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe segments of different diameters in a single inline fitting. Sized at 3/8 inch by 1/8 inch, it steps down pipe runs where a change in line diameter is required. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, it carries a Class 150 pressure classification and a rated working pressure of 300 psi. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in gas distribution, compressed air, and general fluid piping systems where a durable, threaded reduction is needed.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications. It is commonly used in natural gas branch lines, steam and condensate systems, compressed air distribution, and water service piping where an NPT threaded reduction from 3/8 inch down to 1/8 inch is required. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations per applicable plumbing and mechanical codes.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black finish meets standard requirements for gas piping applications
• Class 150 rated with a 300 psi working pressure for broad service use
• Threaded end connections on both ends for straightforward installation
• Reduces from 3/8 inch to 1/8 inch NPT in a single compact fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for Class 150 malleable iron pipe systems using 3/8 inch by 1/8 inch NPT threaded connections in gas, air, or fluid service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-stressing the fitting.
