Value Collection 13563 Black Reducing Coupling 1x3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13563 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas and liquid distribution systems. It transitions from a 1-inch pipe to a 3/4-inch pipe using standard NPT threaded end connections. Built to Class 150 specifications, the fitting carries a 300 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for a wide range of low- to medium-pressure plumbing and gas piping applications. The black finish is standard for gas-service fittings and provides basic corrosion resistance in dry environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of fitting as part of threaded iron pipe systems.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems wherever a 1-inch line needs to step down to a 3/4-inch line. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, hydronic heating systems, compressed air, and general industrial fluid lines. The threaded connection style is compatible with standard NPT pipe threads. Sold in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service vehicles and job-site stock.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC standards. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
