Value Collection 13320 Reducing Coupling 3/8x1/4 in Class 150

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13320 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect threaded pipe runs where a 3/8-inch line steps down to a 1/4-inch line. The fitting carries a Class 150 rating and a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, making it suitable for a wide range of low-pressure piping applications. The black finish is standard for gas-service fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this type of coupling when transitioning between two different pipe sizes in threaded iron piping systems.

This reducing coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations involving gas lines, air lines, and other compatible fluid or gas service applications. The female NPT threads on both ends accept standard tapered pipe threads. It is commonly used in branch line reductions, appliance connections, and panel or manifold piping where a size transition is needed without adding length to the run.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability in threaded piping systems
• Black finish suited for gas-service piping applications
• Class 150 rated with a 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service
• Threaded end connections on both ends for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Reduces from 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch pipe size in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded iron piping systems rated at Class 150 or lower pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements, including IFGC guidelines for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
