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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-inch MPT to 1\/2-inch MPT in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi at Class 125 for water and general-service use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMPT ends on both sides thread into standard FPT fittings or valve bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact body at 2.75 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT (Male Pipe Thread) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.336 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454-053NL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696510665010,"sku":"454-053NL","price":34.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/583249733403883e34a6a0670c4e972a.jpg?v=1788343399","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-454-053nl-brass-reducing-coupling-1x1-2-mpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
