Value Collection 13322G Black Reducing Coupling 1/2x3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13322G is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipe runs of different diameters in threaded piping systems. Rated at Class 150 with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, this fitting steps down from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 3/8-inch female thread. The black finish is standard for gas-line and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians install this type of fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes within low-pressure distribution systems.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, compressed air, and water service piping where a threaded step-down connection is required. The Class 150 malleable iron construction meets standard requirements for general-purpose piping assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems using 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
