Value Collection 13320G Reducing Coupling 3/8 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13320G is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for joining threaded pipe runs where a 3/8-inch line steps down to a 1/4-inch line. Built to Class 150 standards, this fitting carries a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, making it suitable for air, gas, water, and light steam distribution systems. The black finish is standard for gas-service piping applications. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and thread-engagement strength required for reliable field assembly by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems wherever a diameter transition is needed in a threaded iron pipe assembly. Common applications include natural gas branch lines, compressed air distribution, water supply headers, and steam fitter rough-in work. The female-to-female threaded configuration accepts NPT-threaded pipe on both ends, allowing a straightforward inline reduction without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for ductility and strong thread engagement
• Black finish suitable for gas-service piping per standard code requirements
• Class 150 rated with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch inline reduction in a single fitting
• Female NPT threaded on both ends for direct pipe connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using NPT connections at Class 150 service ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to proper engagement using pipe wrenches — do not over-torque malleable iron fittings. Verify system pressure and inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to service.
