Value Collection 13892G Black Reducing Coupling 3/4x3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13892G 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 reduces from a 3/4-inch female threaded inlet to a 3/8-inch female threaded outlet. The black finish is standard for gas distribution and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting where line-size reductions are required without changing fitting style or material.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air lines, water distribution, and general fluid handling systems where malleable iron fittings are specified. The threaded end connections make it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe in both new construction and retrofit applications. Its compact profile allows installation in tight spaces where pipe diameter transitions are needed.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch threaded connection in a single fitting
• Malleable iron construction for durability in gas and liquid service
• Black finish suitable for gas piping systems per common code requirements
• Class 150 rating with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• Threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded malleable iron piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch reduction.

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 applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to bring up to a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as cracking can result.
