Value Collection 454-053NL Brass Reducing Coupling 1x1/2 Mpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 454-053NL is a red brass pipe reducing coupling designed to connect two male pipe thread (MPT) ends of different sizes in a single inline fitting. It steps down from a 1-inch line to a 1/2-inch line and is rated for service up to 125 psi at Class 125. The red brass construction resists corrosion in water supply and light industrial piping systems. This fitting is a standard choice for plumbers and pipefitters handling potable water, hydronic heating, and general-purpose plumbing rough-in work where a size reduction is needed along a threaded run.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It installs wherever a threaded pipe run must transition from a 1-inch nominal diameter down to a 1/2-inch nominal diameter, such as branch takeoffs in water distribution systems, boiler piping, and general utility plumbing. The MPT end connections thread onto female pipe thread (FPT) fittings or female-threaded valve bodies following standard NPT thread engagement practices.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-inch MPT to 1/2-inch MPT in a single inline fitting
• Rated to 125 psi at Class 125 for water and general-service use
• Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water piping applications
• MPT ends on both sides thread into standard FPT fittings or valve bodies
• Compact body at 2.75 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation reducing coupling for standard Class 125 NPT-threaded brass pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing piping. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before making up the joint, and tighten to hand-snug plus the manufacturer-recommended turns for the pipe diameter following IPC and IFGC threading guidelines. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
