Value Collection 13891 Black Reducing Coupling 3/4 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13891 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe sections of different diameters. It steps down from a 3/4-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch female thread, making it suitable for reducing pipe runs in gas, air, or liquid distribution systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, it carries a Class 150 rating and a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during system assembly or modification where a diameter transition is required.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and compressed air systems wherever a step-down connection between 3/4-inch and 1/4-inch NPT threaded pipe is needed. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications. It is sold in a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock reducing coupling for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 3/4-inch and 1/4-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns required to achieve a leak-free seal without stressing the fitting.
