Value Collection -13564-2 Reducing Coupling 1/2x1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13564-2 is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed for joining two threaded pipe sections of different diameters in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This fitting reduces from a 1/2-inch line to a 1/4-inch line and carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 1,500 psi and a steam pressure rating of 300 psi, making it suitable for both low-pressure steam and higher-pressure liquid and gas service. Classified as a Class 300 fitting, it is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians where a threaded pipe size transition is required.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems handling water, compressed air, gas, and steam. It is appropriate for applications where a standard threaded NPT connection is used and a pipe diameter reduction is needed at a joint. The Class 300 rating and malleable iron construction make it a reliable choice for service lines, distribution headers, and equipment branch connections where pressure integrity at a size transition is critical.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and strength under pressure cycling
• 1,500 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding service environments
• 300 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam systems
• Class 300 fitting classification meets standard pipe fitting requirements
• Reduces from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch for in-line pipe diameter transitions
• Threaded NPT connection for standard tool installation without special equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded reducing coupling for use in NPT-threaded malleable iron pipe systems where a 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch diameter reduction is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free joint. Inspect the connection under pressure before returning the system to service.
